School Song
Oi! New kid?
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
'Cause 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 hell!
But if I try, I can remember
Back before my life had ended
Before my happy days were over
Before I first heard the peeling 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? Did you hear what we said?
Just you wait for Phys-Ed!
What's Phys-Ed?
Physical education
The Trunchbull's specialty
Who are you?
We're prefects, we're here to take you to class
So we're going to start learning?
Oh, you'll start learning, alright
Great! I already know the alphabet!
You don't know the alphabet until we learn you the alphabet
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
'Cause 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 hell!
But if I try, I can remember
Back before my life had ended
Before my happy days were over
Before I first heard the peeling 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? Didn't you hear what we said?
I have become aware that some of you are not yet in class
Correct this, you have five seconds to comply
A, B, C, D, E, F, G (five)
H, I, J, K, L, M, N, O, P (four!)
Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X (three)
Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y (two)
Lavender, Matilda, inside, quick!
(One!) Just you wait for Phys-Ed!
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
'Cause your life as you know it, is ancient history
I have suffered in this jail
I've been trapped inside this cage for ages
