Hey, Headmaster, what's the matter with you?
  Why're you always so serious, why so blue?
  All the kids in the school have seen you
  Being patient with the boys who fool you
  When you used to hit them with your ruler
  So independent too
  Hey, Headmaster, what's the matter with you?
  
  There's a crisis rumoured in the school
  The boys have cut their hair short to look cool
  Examination time is drawing near
  Disintegration of the football team
  No one seems to want to play for real
  In classroom, club or pool
  Hey, Headmaster, what're you gonna do?
  
  There's an invitation in the post
  To a reading party on the coast
  Pack your bags up, you old bibliophile
  Get together with your friends, who will
  Give you time to think and time to kill
  With independent hosts
  Hey, Headmaster, aren't you gonna go?
  Hey, Headmaster, aren't you gonna go?
