Lyrics

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 (Aah!) 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's speciality My mummy says I'm a miracle (Aah!) My daddy said I would be the teacher's pet (Aah!) School is really fun, according to my mum (Aah!) Dad said I'd learn the alphabet The alphabet? Oh, you 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 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? 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 Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y, Y Why? Just you wait for phys-ed!
