School Song Lyrics - Matilda The Musical London Cast Recording - Matilda London Cast

(VARIOUS YOUNG STUDENTS) 

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 

(OLDER STUDENTS) 

So you think you're able (A-ble) 

To survive this mess by being a Prince or a Princess 

(B-ing) 

You will soon see (C) 

There's no escaping tragedy (trage-D) 

And even (E-ven) 

If you put in heaps of effort (F-ort) 

You're just wasting energy (ener-G) 

'Cause your life as you know it is ancient history (H-ent) 

I, have suffered in this jail (I and J-l) 

I've been trapped inside this cage for ages (K-ge) 

This living 'ell (L) 

But if I try I can remember (rem-M-ber) 

Back before my life had ended (N-ded) 

Before my happy days were over (O-ver) 

Before I first heard the pealing of the bell (P-ling) 

Like you I was curious (Q-rious) 

So innocent I asked a thousand questions (R-sked) 

But unless you want to suffer listen up (unl-S) 

And I will teach you, a thing or two (T-ch) 

You listen here, my dear (U) 

You'll be punished so severely (se-Vre-ly) 

If you step out of line, and if you cry, it will be double, you should stay out of trouble (W) 

And remember to be extremely careful 

(YOUNG STUDENT) 

Why? (why 

(OLDER STUDENT) 

Why? Did you hear what he said? 

(OLDER STUDENTS) 

Just you wait for Phys-ed (Phy-Z) 

(YOUNG STUDENTS) 

What's Phys-ed? 

(OLDER STUDENTS) 

Physical Education! 

(OLDER STUDENT) 

It's the Trunchbull's speciality! 

(OLDER STUDENT) 

It's the Trunchbull's speciality! 

(VARIOUS YOUNG STUDENTS) 

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 said I would learn the alphabet 

(OLDER STUDENT) 

The alphabet!? You better learn to listen kid! 

(OLDER STUDENTS) 

So you think you're able (A-ble) 

To survive this mess by being a Prince or a Princess (B-ing) 

You will soon see (C) 

There's no escaping tragedy (trage-D) 

And even (E-ven) 

If you put in heaps of effort (F-ort) 

You're just wasting energy (ener-G) 

'Cause your life as you know it is ancient history (H-ent)
