Tim Minchin – School Song lyrics

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
Mum says I’m an angel
Mum says I’m an angel
And so you think you’re able
To survive this mess
By being a prince or a princess
You will soon see there’s no escaping tragedy
And even if you put in heaps of effort
You’re just wasting energy
‘Cos your life as you know it is ancient history
I have suffered in this jail
I’ve been trapped inside this cage for ages
This living ‘ell
But if I try I can remember
That before my life had ended
Before my happy days were over
Before I first heard the pealing of the bell
Like you I was curious
So innocent, I asked a thousand questions
But unless you want to suffer
Listen up and I will teach you a thing or two
You listen here, my dear
You’ll be punished so severely
If you step out of line
And if you cry it will be double
You should stay out of trouble
And remember to be extremely careful
Why?
Why?
Why? Why?
Did you hear what he said?
Just you wait for Phys Ed
What’s Phys Ed?
Physical education!
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
And so you think you’re (A)ble
To survive this mess
By (B)eing a prince or a princess
You will soon (C)see there’s no escaping trage(D)y
And (E)ven if you put in heaps of e(F)fort
You’re just wasting ener(G)y
‘Cos your life as you know it is (H)ancient history
(I) have suffered in this (J)ail
I’ve been trapped inside this (K)cage for ages
This living ‘e(L)l
But if I try I can re(M)ember
That before my life had e(N)ded
Before my happy days were (O)ver
Before I first heard the (P)ealing of the bell
Like you I was (Q)curious
So innocent, I a(R)sked a thousand questions
But unle(S)s you want to suffer
Listen up and I will (T)each you a thing or two
Yo(U) listen here, my dear
You’ll be punished so se(V)erely
If you step out of line
And if you cry it will be (W) double
You should stay out of trouble
And remember to be e(X)tremely careful
Why?
Wh(Y)?
Why? Why?
Did you hear what he said?
Just you wait for Phys Ed
Just you wait for Phys Ed
ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWX
Wh(Y) why why why why why why
Why?
Just you wait for phys(Z) ed!
