Verse 1 When we were in nappies, not very long ago,
Pre-molars and incisors had just begun to grow.
So blissfully ignorant of what was coming next,
Then we started school and had to mix
With the opposite sex!

Chorus Well boys will be boys and girls will be girls,
And never the twain shall care,
Until, that is, we reach the dizzy heights of year 6,
Then it’s all downhill from there!

Verse 2 For infants it’s easy, they still don’t have a clue
Of dangers which await them in just a year or two!
Afternoons spent happily just playing in the sand,
And a game of ‘catch’ at morning break
Never gets out of hand!

Chorus Well boys will be boys…..

Instrumental (during which girls and boys dance awkwardly together!)


Verse 3 But now we are older, it’s different than before,
A smile across the classroom, it means a little more.
(Girls) 9 o’clock we ‘fall in love’, by 10 we’re ‘going out’,
(Boys) But they’re dumped at lunchtime ‘cause we’d miss
Our lads’ kick-about!

Chorus Well boys will be boys and girls will be girls,
And never the twain shall care,
Until, that is, we reach the dizzy heights of year 6,
Then it’s all downhill, well it’s all downhill,
Yes it’s all downhill from there!
