Lyrics
Shouldn't Have Done That
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.
Plans made in the nursery
Can change the course of history
Remember that
Mommy's annoyed, says go and play
Don't show your face
Stay away all day
Shouldn't have done that
A small boy and his infantry
Marching around so naturally
Shouldn't have done that
Grows up and goes to school
Such a nice boy
Obeys all the rules
Mommy's proud of that
Leaves school to follow his ambition
Knows what he wants
To be a politician
Shouldn't have done that!
