The Register

First there’s little Kenny March who goes to sleep in school
And Lorraine Boone so quiet, follows the golden rule.

Michael Butler, who just sits and doesn’t do a lot,
Eddie Woodman gets confused and thinks that Dick is Spot.

Ronnie Ennis and Billy Ash, the stretcher lads, each day
Are brought in on their tummies, but don’t always STAY that way.

Frankie Pynn, who howls because she thinks school, is a pain,
But when she’s told that she CAN’T go, she starts to howl again.

Emily Pope, so dignified, will smile her way through life,
So dainty and methodical, she’ll make a model wife.

Joy Bennett, Springdale, short and sweet, at learning is a dandy,
She’d lose a little bit of weight if she’d stop munching candy.

Terry Peddle, clever lad, his daddy is a teacher,
But Terry looks to us as though he’ll likely be a preacher.

Bruce Martin, like the rest of us, can get the nurses mad,
And Bill Parsons is the one who’s neither good not bad.

Maxine Rogers, nice brown eyes, and looking very shy,
Bud, if you knew her as we do – You’d change the SHY to SLY.

Audrey Penney, copper-top, her marks are always high
And if told, ‘Go climb the moon’, she’d smile and say “I’ll try”.

Lucy Reid, the lanky one, who always wants to talk
And if they keep on stretching her she’ll look like Jack’s beanstalk.

Diane Drover! Man oh Man!! Pretty and full of pep,
When she grows up her father’ll find me sitting on his doorstep.

Tommy Clancy eats and eats with appetite so burly,
He’ll run the Camp a bdebit if they don’t discharge him early.

And I am Linday Carpenter – always good as good can be –
Of all the pupils, I’m the BEST – I’m sure you don’t believe me.

And so that ends the register, and lessons are all over,
We’ll take teacher’s harness off, and put her out to clover.
