Verse 1 Sitting down for morning lessons,
Some of us still half asleep,
Longing for our comfy pillows,
Wishing we were counting sheep!
Then we're hit with facts and figures,
So much stuff to memorize!
The strain we're under, it's no wonder
That occasionally it all goes.....
Chorus In one ear and out the other,
Can't retain it - can't explain it!
In one ear and out the other,
Such a shame it won't remain.
It's all a mystery. How can it be,
Though we've really tried,
It all goes in one ear and out the other side?
Verse 2 A classroom in the afternoon
Can be a hot and stuffy place,
'Specially if you're by the window,
Sunlight shining in your face!
Trying hard to concentrate,
To make the information stick.
The pressure's rising, not surprising
That occasionally it all goes.....
Chorus In one ear and out the other.....
Middle Just a bit of understanding's all we're asking for,
When, in weekly tests, we've maybe got a dismal score!
Preposition, article and subordinate clause,
Our enemies and nemesies....to use some metaphors!
(spoken) Aha! Metaphors! Well that's one thing we've remembered!
Chorus In one ear and out the other.....
Repeat And out the other side!
