[Intro]
B A# G# F
B A# G#
[Verse 1]
F G#
Naughty boys in nasty schools, head-masters breaking all the rules,
A# B A# G#
Having fun and playing fools, smashing up the woodwork tools.
F G#
All the teachers in the pub, passing 'round the ready-rub,
A# B A# G#
Trying not to think of when the lunch-time bell will ring a-gain.
[Chorus 1]
A# A#m F Fm
Oh what fun we had, but, did it really turn out bad?
A# A#m C B C
All I learnt at school, was how to bend not break the rules.
A# A#m F Fm
Oh what fun we had, but at the time it seemed so bad.
A# A#m C B
Trying different ways, to make a difference to...
[Verse 2]
A# G# F G#
The head-master's had enough today, all the kids have gone away,
A# B A# G#
Gone to fight with next-door's school; every term that is the rule.
F G#
Sits alone and bends his cane; same old backsides again,
A# B A# G#
All the small ones tell tall tales, walking home and squashing snails.
[Chorus 2]
A# A#m F Fm
Oh what fun we had, but, did it really turn out bad?

Lots of girls and lots of boys, lots of smells and lots of noise.
A# B A# G#
Playing football in the park, kicking pushbikes after dark.
F G#
Baggy trousers, dirty shirt, pulling hair and eating dirt,
A# B A# G#
Teacher comes to break it up; back of the 'ead with a plastic cup.
[Chorus 3]
A# A#m F Fm
Oh what fun we had, but, did it really turn out bad?
