If You Ever |
| If you ever go to school |
| Then you’ll know that it’s a fool |
| Who believes a teachers pet |
| Is a pupil like yourself |
| For if I remember well |
| My old teachers was a belt |
| Which he kept around his shoulder blade |
| There for the mistakes we made |
| Have you ever been to sea |
| And been told reluctantly |
| That if you have one more drink |
| We’re all liable to sink |
| If you have all I can say |
| Is have a happy holiday |
| And don’t come back without a tan |
| Especially from a far off land |
| Funny old world this |
| Or haven’t you noticed |
| Everything’s glued on |
| Nothing is screwed on |
| One day we will come unstuck |
| But until then we’re in luck |
| If you ever feel the need |
| To go out and plant a seed |
| Then by all means go ahead |
| I won’t stop you but instead |
| I will tell you where to go |
| And the seeds that you can grow |
| And by way of payment back I think |
| You could buy us all a drink |
| Funny old world this |
| Or haven’t you noticed |
| Nothing is certain |
| Gone for a burton |
| Something must be done they say |
| But for the moment it can wait |
