INTRO REPRISE:
 
 
Ev'rybody's got new
orders. Be a nice girl and kiss the warders.
Now the teacher is
away, all the kids begin to play.
 
INTRO REPRISE:
 
Men come screaming,
dressed in white coats, shake you very gently by the throat.
One's named Gus,
one's named Alfie.
I don't want to go
to Chelsea.
