Our old school

Eamon1943

knowlegable brummie
We'd walk a mile catch a tram up to Villa Cross
Learning lessons at our school was an utter loss

St Marys catholic boys school failure at its best
Reading writing and religion put us to the test

Tom O'Loughlin the head of all us disruptive boys
playing in the playground making so much noise

Our only lady teacher Miss Capatitti was her name
Chuckles in the classroom thinking all the same

PT on a Thursday we all boxed in the boxing ring
ego and a bloody nose wasn't what I'd call my thing

At fifteen we looked forward to our leaving school
Father said to get a trade it was his golden rule

Finally the day came when we couldn't wait to say
finished at that awful school hip hip hip hooray !
