Good Boys
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.
At the back of the classroom Jimmy's sitting and thinking
Just wants the sun to keep on shining
His desk has got his life story written on it
His girlfriend's name and number on it
He's really glad his desk is by the window
Teacher's talking thinking Jimmy is listening
But the Crimean war just don't interest him
Have to leave the class for a minute boys
Turn to page one hundred and fifty four, I wanna see you
Gonna through the paces, paces, paces paces
Everybody's gonna be a good boy
Everybody gonna be good
Awful nice now do what you're doing
Everybody do what you should …oh oh
I want to see you going through the paces, paces
Teacher talking thinking Jimmy is listening
But the Crimean war just don't interest him
Have to leave the class for a minute boys
Turn to page one hundred and fifty boys
I wanna see you going through the paces, paces, paces, paces
Everybody gonna be a good boy, everybody gonna be good
All be nice now, do what you doing
Everybody do what you should …oh oh
Paces, paces, going through the paces, paces
Going through the paces, paces
Going through the motions, paces
Oh everybody gonna be a good boy
Everybody gonna be good
