[Verse 1]
F Ab
Naughty boys in nasty schools, head-masters breaking all the rules,
Bb B Bb Ab
Having fun and playing fools, smashing up the woodwork tools.
F Ab
All the teachers in the pub, passing 'round the ready-rub,
Bb B Bb Ab
Trying not to think of when the lunch-time bell will ring a-gain.
[Chorus 1]
Bb Bbm F Fm
Oh what fun we had, but, did it really turn out bad?
Bb Bbm C B C
All I learnt at school, was how to bend not break the rules.
Bb Bbm F Fm
Oh what fun we had, but at the time it seemed so bad.
Bb Bbm C B
Trying different ways, to make a difference to...
[Verse 2]
Bb Ab F Ab
The head-master's had enough today, all the kids have gone away,
Bb B Bb Ab
Gone to fight with next-door's school; every term that is the rule.
F Ab
Sits alone and bends his cane; same old backsides again,
Bb B Bb Ab
All the small ones tell tall tales, walking home and squashing snails.
[Chorus 2]
Bb Bbm F Fm
Oh what fun we had, but, did it really turn out bad?
Bb Bbm C B C
All I learnt at school, was how to bend not break the rules.
Bb Bbm F Fm
Oh what fun we had, but at the time it seemed so bad.
Bb Bbm C Db (Dm)
Trying different ways, to make a difference to the days.
