SONG I

IT'S A FUNNY THING 
It's a funny thing 
about some mothers and fathers 
even when their own child 
is full of bother 
Being a disgusting blister 
on whom, 
nothing good registers 
They still think 
that he or she is wonderful 
Some parents even go further 
they become blind 
by adoration 
Even when the good 
in their child 
has no duration 
Amongst themselves they chatter 
about this absurd matter 
That their child's a genius 
Its a funny thing 
Some teachers O boy!

 
Listen song

from parents
who can be rougher 
They have to listen 
to this twaddle 
from a mother with a waddle 
But they get 
their own back 
at the end of term 
when the child get the sack 
One comes across parents 
who do not give in 
Who show no interest at all 
in their own kith and kin 
Mr. & Mrs. Dathwal were 
two such parents 
Theirs was a son called Mike 
and a daughter called Matilda 
But Matilda 
O Matilda 
was so brilliant 
Her mind was so nimble and quick 
You couldn't catch 
any one of our tricks 
she could read 100 pages 
with a flick 
(Sung by Ankur & Back-ups)
