Oh ho ho, oh ho ho
No teachers after school
Oh ho ho, oh ho ho
You're so dead after school
Oh, no, no
Why don't you beg? (Fatso!)
Run? (Fatso!)
Beg? (Fatso!)
Run? (Fatso!)
Why don't you say it?
Uncle
Why don't you say it?
Uncle
Why don't you say it?
Uncle
Com'on - say it!
Uncle
Why don't you say it you baby?
Run home to mother
Nobody likes you
I'll get you again tomorrow
Oh ho ho, oh ho ho
No teachers after school
Oh ho ho, oh ho ho
You're so dead after school
Oh, no, no
Why don't you beg? (Fatso!)
Run? (Fatso!)
Beg? (Fatso!)

Just... say it!
Uncle
Why don't you say it you baby?
Run home to mother
Nobody likes you
I'll get you again tomorrow
And everybody's entitled to their own opinion
Everyone but me
I'm meant to suffer, baby
They've already d-d-decided how they're going to torture me
Make my life a Hell
I will never get over, baby
Hey
Why don't you beg? (Fatso!)
Run? (Fatso!)
Beg? (Fatso!)
Run? (Fatso!)
Why don't you say it?
Uncle
Why don't you say it?
Uncle
Why don't you say it?
Uncle
Uncle
Why don't you say it you baby?
Run home to mother
Nobody likes you
I'll get you again tomorrow
