The School Song

Black Box Recorder
Black Box Recorder
Black Box Recorder
Black Box Recorder
This is the school song
(Black Box Recorder)
This is the school song
(Black Box Recorder)
This is the school song
(Black Box Recorder)
This is the school song
(Black Box Recorder)
Welcome to the school of song
(This is the school song)
(Black Box Recorder)
It’ll help you achieve perfection
(This is the school song)
(Black Box Recorder)
Destroy your record collection
(This is the school song)
(Black Box Recorder)
It’s for your own protection
(This is the school song)
(Black Box Recorder)
You’re late again
(This is the school song)
Thank you so much for gracing us with your presence
No really, do sit down
(This is the school song)
And what on earth is that you’re wearing?
(This is the school song)
This is an educational establishment, not a night-club
(This is the school song)
Put your hand up, don’t mumble, don’t interrupt
(This is the school song)
Wipe that idiotic smile off your face
(This is the school song)
When you’re here you do as I say
Walk in the corridors — I said walk, don’t run
(This is the school song)
Double detention in the school of song
(This is the school song)
This is the school song
This is the school song
This is the school song
This is the school song
Welcome to the school of song
(This is the school song)
It’ll help you achieve perfection
(This is the school song)
Destroy your record collection
(This is the school song)
It’s for your own protection
(This is the school song)
Right everybody, you’re going for a swim
(This is the school song)
Get changed into your costumes and line up by the pool
(This is the school song)
Yes I know it’s February — you lot need a bit of toughening up
(This is the school song)
You’re weak and spoilt — look at you
(This is the school song)
I don’t want to hear any of your excuses
(This is the school song)
Girls and boys from this school fought and died in the war, you know
(This is the school song)
Get undressed, you’re going in
(This is the school song)
Double games in the school of song
(This is the school song)
This is the school song
(Black Box Recorder)
This is the school song
(Black Box Recorder)
This is the school song
(Black Box Recorder)
This is the school song
(Black Box Recorder)
We hope you’ve enjoyed your time here as much as we’ve enjoyed having you
(This is the school song)
I know we haven’t always seen eye to eye
(This is the school song)
But I think you’ll come to appreciate our methods when you go out into the world
(This is the school song)
Some of you will achieve greatness, others of you will succeed in a more modest
capacity
(This is the school song)
Some of you… well…
(This is the school song)
They’ll want to read about you for the right reasons
(This is the school song)
Congratulations to all of you
(This is the school song)
A grade 'A' from the Black Box Recorder School of Song
(This is the school song)
Welcome to the school of song
(This is the school song)
It’ll help you achieve perfection
(This is the school song)
For your own protection
(This is the school song)
Destroy your record collection
(This is the school song)
This is the school song
This is the school song
This is the school song
This is the school song
