Madness - Baggy Trousers lyrics

Your rating:

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 rule.

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.

Oh, what fun we had
But did it really turn out bad?
All I learnt at school
Was how to bend, not break the rule.

Oh, what fun we had
But at the time it seemed so bad
Trying different ways
To make a difference to the days.

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 head with a plastic cup.

Oh, what fun we had
But did it really turn out bad?
All I learnt at school
Was how to bend, not break the rule.

Oh, what fun we had
But at the time it seemed so bad
Trying different ways
To make a difference to the days.

Baggy trousers
Baggy trousers
Baggy trousers.

Baggy trousers
Baggy trousers
Baggy trousers.

Baggy trousers
Baggy trousers
Baggy trousers.

Baggy trousers
Baggy trousers
Baggy trousers.
