My First Day At School

Verse 1 A brand new pair of shoes, A clean and freshly-ironed shirt. The boys’ hair washed and brushed, The girls’ tied back so tight it hurt! Trying to prise my hand Away from my weeping mummy, While butterflies Fluttered in my tummy! Chorus It’s a memory that I hold so dear, Worth more than any precious jewel. A combination of delight and fear Is how I’ll remember my first day at school! Verse 2 I’d only been there half an hour When it dawned on me, My life would never be as simple As it used to be! There are rules to learn, And new ways of behaving. So, to the easy life, ‘Goodbye’ I’m waving! Chorus It’s a memory….. Middle Well, I’m brave of heart, But all of this just seems so bittersweet, ’Cause today’s the start Of me standing on my own two feet Chorus It’s a memory….. Repeat Chorus Repeat My first day at school! x4
