THE SONG:
Whoa!
Never again will she get the best of me
Never again will she take away my freedom
And we won't forget the day we fought
For the right to be a little bit naughty!
Never again will the chokey door slam
Never again will I be bullied and
Never again will I doubt it when
My mummy says I'm a miracle
Never again will we live behind bars
Never again now that we know that we are
Revolting children
Living in revolting times
We sing revolting songs
Using revolting rhymes
We'll be revolting children
Til our revolting's done
And we'll have the Trunchbull bolting
We're revolting!
We are revolting children
Living in revolting times
We sing revolting songs
Using revolting rhymes
We'll be revolting children
'Til our revolting's done
And we'll have the Trunchbull bolting
We're revolting!
We will become a screaming horde!
Take out your hockey stick and use it as a sword
Never again will we be ignored
We'll find out where the chalk is stored
And draw rude pictures on the board
It's not insulting
We're revolting!
We can S-P-el how we like!
If enough of us are wrong, wrong is right!
Everyone! N-O-R-T-Y?
'Cause we're a little bit naughty!
You say we oughta stay inside the line
But if we disobey at the same time
There is nothing that the Trunchbull can do
She can take her hammer and S-H-U(v)
You mighta thought we were weak but we're strong!
Mighta thought we would break but you're wrong!
Because you finally pushed us too far
Now there's no going back cos we...
R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N
Revolting times!
We'll S-I-N-G
Songs!
U-S-I-N-G
Rhymes!
We'll be R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N-G
It is 2-L-8-4-U-E-R-E-vol-ting!
We are revolting children
Living in revolting times
We sing revolting songs
Using revolting rhymes
We'll be revolting children
Til our revolting's done
It is 2-L-8-4-U, 4-U, 4-U, 4-U, 4-U!
We are revolting children
