D#m
Plans made in the nursery
Can change the course of history
Remember that

D#m              C#           D#m
Mummy's annoyed, says "Go and play"
C#              D#m     C#          D#m
Don't show your face, stay away all day
  C#                D#m
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
