Headmaster

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

Headmaster, this is my confession.

This time you won't be overjoyed,

I have destroyed what little faith you had in me,

I've been such a naughty boy.

Headmaster I am at your mercy,

I've been such a little fool.

I've dishonored one who trusted me,

I have broken all the rules.

I've been with those naughty little girls again,

Now those naughty little girls are going to put me to shame.

I wish that I'd been born with a little more sense,

This time it's a serious offense.

I feel like an innocent victim,

I feel that I just can't win.

Headmaster please give me one chance,

Please help me to act like a man.

I've let down the school,

I've broken all the rules,

I've let down the side,

I've committed a crime.

Headmaster, this is my confession,

I've been such a little fool.

I've dishonored one who trusted me,

I have broken all the rules.

I've been such a little fool.

Don't tell all my friends I bent over,

Don't tell them you made me cry.

Don't tell them I've been sacrificed,

Don't tell all my friends or I'll die.

Headmaster don't beat me I beg you,

I know that I've let you down.

Headmaster please spare me I beg you,

Don't make me take my trousers down.
