I Don’t Want to Go into School
Colin NcNaughton
I don’t want to go into school today, Mum,
I don’t feel like schoolwork today.
Oh, don’t make me go into school today, Mum,
Oh, please let stay home and play.
But you must go to school, my cherub, my lamb.
If you don’t it will be a disaster.
How would they manage without you, my sweet,
After all, you are the headmaster!
