Military School
When I was a kid and I misbehaved
My mom and dad didn't rant and rave
They sat me down on the davenport
And this is what they said
We're going to send you to military school
We're going to send you to military school
And maybe you can learn to follow the rules
We're going to send you to military school
They'll shave your head and they'll tan your hide
Your pants will have a little stripe down the side
At military school
Military school
When I was a kid and I acted up
And my mom and dad had had enough
They called me into the rumpus room
And this is what they said
We're going to send you to military school
We're going to send you to military school
The perfect place for a brat like you
We're going to send you to military school
They'll ship you out and before they're through
There going to make a man out of you
At military school
Military school
You'll wake up every morning at 5 A.M.
With 300 other boys
A little bit of military discipline
Will be something you enjoy
But when I was a kid, buddy you can bet
That I could recognize an idle threat
You could hear the same thing night and day
You never listen anyway
They never sent me to military school
They never sent me to military school
Now look at me, I turned out pretty cool
They never sent me to military school
And if my kids need a talking to
There is something that I'll never do
I never ever will threaten to
To send them to military school
