Hey, Headmaster Lyrics

(Tennant/Lowe)

Hey, Headmaster, what's the matter with you?

Why're you always so serious, why so blue?

All the kids in the school have seen you

Being patient with the boys who fool you

When you used to hit them with your ruler

So independent too

Hey, Headmaster, what's the matter with you?

There's a crisis rumoured in the school

The boys have cut their hair short to look cool

Examination time is drawing near

Disintegration of the football team

No one seems to want to play for real

In classroom, club or pool

Hey, Headmaster, what're you gonna do?

There's an invitation in the post

To a reading party on the coast

Pack your bags up, you old bibliophile

Get together with your friends, who will

Give you time to think and time to kill

With independent hosts

Hey, Headmaster, aren't you gonna go?

Hey, Headmaster, aren't you gonna go?
