The School Song

Writing letters with a quill,
No smudges, no spills –
Taught in classrooms, taught in classrooms,
Taught in classrooms,
To subtract, divide and add,
Not to bully little lads –
Taught in classrooms, taught in classrooms,
Taught in classrooms,
To subtract, divide and add,
Not to bully little lads –
Taught in classrooms, taught in classrooms,
Taught in classrooms.

Reading syllables and words,
Adding twos and threes and fours –
Taught in classrooms, taught in classrooms,
Taught in classrooms,
Loving stories good and kind,
Keeping manners on your mind –
Taught in classrooms, taught in classrooms,
Taught in classrooms,
Loving stories good and kind,
Keeping manners on your mind –
Taught in classrooms, taught in classrooms,
Taught in classrooms,


Finding South, East and West,
Drawing figures to your best –
Taught in classrooms, taught in classrooms,
Taught in classrooms,
Never mixing up the words
For the cities of the world –
Taught in classrooms, taught in classrooms,
Taught in classrooms,
Never mixing up the words
For the cities of the world –
Taught in classrooms, taught in classrooms,
Taught in classrooms,

Understanding verbs and nouns,
Rain and snow, light and sound –
Taught in classrooms, taught in classrooms,
Taught in classrooms,
Being fast and loyal friends
All life long until the end –
Taught in classrooms, taught in classrooms,
Taught in classrooms,
Being fast and loyal friends
All life long until the end –
Taught in classrooms, taught in classrooms,
Taught in classrooms.
