Verse 1 The school bell rings as a new day is dawning,
We’re wide awake but the teacher’s still yawning!
She says, “Coats on pegs!” but they end up on the floor,
School bags blocking the classroom door!
To the untrained eye it looks a riot scene,
But it’s all part of our Monday morning routine.

Verse 2 There are mums lined up for a word – “Scuse me,
My baby’s got a cold so he can’t do PE.”
One wants to talk about the price of school meals,
She looks quite annoyed but imagine how the teacher feels!
She’s building up a real head of steam,
A common feature of our Monday morning routine.

Middle 8 Doing the register’s impossible
’Cause only half of us are there.
At this rate she’ll end up in hospital
Receiving psychiatric care!

Verse 3 There’s dinner money to collect, and permission slips
For seventeen forthcoming school trips!
So much to sort it’s not surprising
The temperature and the pressure’s rising.
Then like the Hulk she roars and turns bright green,
But hey, what’s new? It’s just our Monday morning routine.
Monday morning routine – yeah!
