Having fun and playing fools, smashing up the woodwork tools.

All the teachers in the pub, passing 'round the ready-rub,
A#                                               B                              A#       G#
Trying not to think of when the lunch-time bell will ring a-gain.

All I learnt at school, was how to bend not break the rules.

Gone to fight with next-door's school; every term that is the rule.
F                                                G#
Sits alone and bends his cane; same old backsides again,
A#                                               B                             A#             G#
All the small ones tell tall tales, walking home and squashing snails.

Oh what fun we had, but, did it really turn out bad?

Lots of girls and lots of boys, lots of smells and lots of noise.
A#                                         B                            A#    G#
Playing football in the park, kicking pushbikes after dark.
F                                          G#
Baggy trousers, dirty shirt, pulling hair and eating dirt,
A#                                            B                                    A#       G#
Teacher comes to break it up; back of the 'ead with a plastic cup.
