School Song Songtext

My mummy says I′m a miracle.
My daddy says I'm his special little guy.
I am a princess,
And I am a prince.
Mum says I′m an angel. So you think you're A-ble To survive this mess by B-ing A prince or a princess, you will soon C,
There's no escaping trage-D .
And E-ven If you put in heaps of F-ort,
You′re just wasting ener-G,
′Cause your life as you know it is H-ent history.
I
Have suffered in this J-ail .
I've been trapped inside this K-ge for ages,

Before my happy days were O-ver,
Before I first heard the P-ling of the bell...
Like you I was Q-rious,
So innocent I R-sked a thousand questions,
But, unl-S you want to suffer,
Listen up and I will T-ch you a thing or two.
U, listen here, my dear,
You′ll be punished so se-V-rely if you step out of line,
And if you cry it will be W should stay out of trouble,
And remember to be X-tremely careful.

Y?

Why? Did you hear what he said?
Just you wait for phy-Z!

My mummy says I′m a miracle.
My daddy said I would be the teacher's pet.
School is really fun, according to my mum.
Dad says I would learn the alphabet.

The alphabet? You′d better learn to listen, kid!
