NAUGHTY WALL

When I left for school this morning,

Everything was looking great

I'd cleaned my teeth, I'd packed my bag

I wasn't even late

Played cricket with Jimmy and Matthew,

And I batted pretty well

In fact nothing at all had really gone

By the time of the morning bell

By little lunch no problem,

A muesli bar and orange juice

My ongoing feud with Kenny Ross

Had even ended in a truce

It all looked like clear sailing,

I was getting through my work

Till just before lunch when Billy Dent

Hurled that piece of chalk

CHORUS

Oh the shame, the shame of it all

I've spent the afternoon against the Naughty Wall

Oh the shame, the shame of it all

I've spent the afternoon against the Naughty Wall

It all happened very quickly,

As I bent over to read

This dirty big white missile

Hit my head at massive speed

I looked around the room at once,

To see what it all meant

And then I saw that grinning dork

That rotten Billy Dent

REPEAT CHORUS

Well I saw red, and I grabbed my pen

And flung it 'cross the room

But in my haste and anger

I struck poor Mrs Bloom

She asked the class through tears of pain

From where that pen had lobbed

And you'd be right, if you guessed

That slimy Billy dobbed

So now I'm heading homewards,

And my feet they only drag

And I've got this note for mom and dad,

Lying in my bag

I'm feeling low, I'm miserable,

There's guilt all on my face

After such a good start this morning

I return home in disgrace

REPEAT CHORUS
