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
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
Mummy's proud of that
Leaves school
To follow his ambition
Knows what he wants:
To be a politician
Shouldn't have done that
