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
'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 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!
It's the Trunchbull speciality
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'd learn the alphabet
The alphabet? Oh you'd gotta learn to listen, 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't remember
Back 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? Didn't you hear what we said?
Just you wait for phys-ed
Just you wait for phys-ed
A-B-C-D-E-F-G
H-I-J-K-L-M-N-O-P
Q-R-S-T-U-V-W-X
Why why why why why why why?
Why
Just you wait for phys-ed!
