Baggy Trousers Lyrics - It's Madness - Madness

Naughty boys in nasty schools 

Headmaster's breaking all the rules 

Having fun and playing fools 

Smashing up the woodwork tools 

All the teachers in the pub 

Passing round the ready-rub 

Trying not to think of when 

The lunchtime bell will ring again. 

Oh what fun we had 

But, did it really turn out bad 

All I learnt at school 

Was how to bend not break the rules 

Oh what fun we had 

But at the time it seemed so bad 

Trying different ways 

To make a difference to the days. 

The headmaster's had enough today 

All the kids have gone away 

Gone to fight with next door's school 

Every term, that is the rule 

Sits alone and bends his cane 

Same old backsides again 

All the small ones tell tall tales 

Walking home and squashing snails. 

Lots of girls and lots of boys 

Lots of smells and lots of noise 

Playing football in the park 

Kicking pushbikes after dark 

Baggy trousers, dirty shirt 

Pulling hair and eating dirt 

Teacher comes to break it up 

Back of the 'ead with a plastic cup.
