[Schoolgirls] (Daz Sampson in brackets)
(Now hear this)
"What did you learn at school today?"
That's what the teachers used to say (Oh yeah)
But they don't know, don't understand, do they?
Why do they always give advice? (Always)
Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life (Let's go)
 
"What did you learn at school today?" (What did you learn?)
That's what the teachers used to say (What did you learn? Uh-huh!)
But they don't know, don't understand, do they?
Why do they always give advice? (Always, always)
Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life

[Daz Sampson]
Dwellin' on the past, from back when I was young
Thinking of my school days and tryin' to write this song
Classroom schemes and dreams, man, they couldn't save me
'Cause my days were numbered when I signed down on Avy
 
Teenage kicks running out, what could we do?
I still show respect to my boys who made it through
And getting told off Mr T how my life would be
Then giving him a signal, so everyone could see
 
Sunshine and shade, those girls I'd serenade
Thinking of those sixth form chicks that misbehave (Whatever)
Hoping that those days would go on and on forever
Every day something new, just friends running together
 
But suddenly school ends, your teenage life's gone
All your mates are growing up, now they're moving on
And now I'm looking back, I'll tell you what I know
Do you listen to your teacher? No, I don't think so
 
[Schoolgirls] (Daz Sampson in brackets)
"What did you learn at school today?" (Yeah)
That's what the teachers used to say 
But they don't know, don't understand, do they?
Why do they always give advice? (Uh-huh-huh-huh!)
Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life 

[Daz Sampson] (Schoolgirls in brackets)
Now if you give the kids time, together they will shine
Yeah, yeah
(Ooh... shine) We all will shine, hear me now
And if you treat the kids fine, they won't do the crime
No, no (Won't do the crime)
Yeah
 
Now my bad old ways were durin' my school days
Messing with those grade A's, my life is just a haze
I'm goin' through the struggle, five ten and kicking back
So I could lock the flow, lace it up now on the track
 
Oh yeah, I felt the pain whilst chasing all the fame
I'm being told I'm nothin', just a player in the game
But now I walk tall, stand proud for you to see
I'm driving these fast cars, it's five stars for me

[Schoolgirls] (Daz Sampson in brackets) 
"What did you learn at school today?" (Just take your turn, you gotta learn)
That's what the teachers used to say (Uh-huh-huh Uh-huh-huh)
But they don't know, don't understand, do they?  (They don't know nothin')
Why do they always give advice? (Always givin' advice, yeah)
Saying: "Just be nice, always think twice"
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life (Yeah, yeah) 
When it's been a long time since they had a teenage life, life, life, life {Fades out}
