[Verse]
B7                              
■  Naughty boys in nasty schools
Ab                    Eb           
Headmaster's breaking all the rules
               Bb           
Having fun and playing fools
                Bb            
Smashing up the woodwork tools
                 Bb        
All the teachers in the pub
Ab                         
Passing 'round the readyrub
Bb                         
Trying not to think of when
                        Bb        
The lunchtime bell will ring again
               Bb 
Oh what fun we had
                  Bb          
But did it really turn out bad
                Bb    
All I learnt at school
C                                  
Was how to bend not break the rules
   Bb             
Oh what fun we had
F                               
But at the time it seemed so bad
                 F   
Trying different ways
C                      
To make a difference to
    C                            
The headmaster's had enough today
Ab                         
All the kids have gone away
Bb                                   
Gone to fight with next door's school
Bb                         
Every term that is the rule
Bb                           
Sits alone and bends his cane
                   Bb   
Same old backsides again
        Bb                        
All the small ones tell tall tales
Bb                               
Walking home and squashing snails


[Chorus]
Bb                
Oh what fun we had
F                             
But did it really turn out bad
Bb                    
All I learnt at school
C7                                 
Was how to bend not break the rules
Bb                
Oh what fun we had
Bb                              
But at the time it seemed so bad
Bb                   
Trying different ways
C                               
To make a difference to the days

Ab                            
Lots of girls and lots of boys
Ab                              
Lots of smells and lots of noise
Ab                          
Playing football in the park
Ab                          
Kicking pushbikes after dark
Ab                        
Baggy trousers dirty shirt
Ab                          
Pulling hair and eating dirt
Bb                          
Teacher comes to break it up
Bb                                 
Back of the 'ead with a plastic cup


[Chorus]
Bb                
Oh what fun we had
