School Song (instrumental)

[Solo] My mummy says I'm a miracle
[Solo] My daddy says I'm his special little guy
[Solo] I am a princess
[Solo]: And I am a prince
[Solo]: Mum says I'm an angel
[Solo]: Mum says I'm an angel
[Solo]: Mum says I'm an angel
[GROUP] (these lines can be split up if you like…some sung as entire group, some in smaller groups or duets among the ensemble, and some so solos. )
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, have been trapped inside this cage for ages
This living 'ell, 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 (bell ringing)
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
[Solo] My daddy says I'm his special little guy
[Solo] I am a princess
[Solo]: And I am a prince
[Solo]: Mum says I'm an angel
[Solo]: Mum says I'm an angel
[Solo]: Mum says I'm an angel

I Won't Grow Up with Vocals

I Won't Grow Up Instrumental
|
I won't grow up
(I won't grow up)
I don't want to go to school.
(I don't want to go to school)
Just to learn to be a parrot,
(Just to learn to be a parrot)
And recite a silly rule.
(And recite a silly rule)
If growing up means it would be
Beneath my dignity to climb a tree,
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me!
Not I,
Not me!
Not me!
I won't grow up,
(I won't grow up)
I don't want to wear a tie.
(I don't want to wear a tie)
And a serious expression
(And a serious expression)
In the middle of July.
(In the middle of July)
And if it means I must prepare
To shoulder burdens with a worried air,
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me,
Not I,
Not me!
So there!
(I won't grow up)
I don't want to go to school.
(I don't want to go to school)
Just to learn to be a parrot,
(Just to learn to be a parrot)
And recite a silly rule.
(And recite a silly rule)
If growing up means it would be
Beneath my dignity to climb a tree,
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me!
Not I,
Not me!
Not me!
I won't grow up,
(I won't grow up)
I don't want to wear a tie.
(I don't want to wear a tie)
And a serious expression
(And a serious expression)
In the middle of July.
(In the middle of July)
And if it means I must prepare
To shoulder burdens with a worried air,
I'll never grow up, never grow up, never grow up
Not me,
Not I,
Not me!
So there!

Let's get down to business, to defeat the Huns Did they send me daughters, when I asked for sons? You're the saddest bunch I ever met But you can bet before we're through, Mister, I'll make a man out of you Tranquil as a forest but on fire within Once you find your center, you are sure to win You're a spineless, pale, pathetic lot And you haven't got a clue Somehow I'll make a man out of you I'm never gonna catch my breath Say goodbye to those who knew me Boy, was I a fool in school for cutting gym This guy's got 'em scared to death Hope he doesn't see right through me Now I really wish that I knew how to swim Be a man We must be swift as the coursing river Be a man With all the force of a great typhoon Be a man With all the strength of a raging fire Mysterious as the dark side of the moon |
