Edgy Productions - Inspectors' Song Lyrics

Verse 1 (Mr Sourbottom solo, or all 3 inspectors together)
Isn't it a lovely day? We're happy to be here.
Look, our cheerful, smiling faces
Prove that there is nothing much to fear.
We sense apprehension, there's no need for tension.
It's our job to see how you're getting on this year.

Chorus (Children and teachers)
Actually that's not the case.
They wouldn't tell us to our face,
They're really here to dig the dirt, you see!
Any secrets we have tried to cover up and hide
They'll expose them all eventually!

Verse 2 (Miss Schneider solo, or all 3 inspectors together)
Carry on, don't change a thing, act normally, please do.
Though you'll see us in your classrooms,
On the playground, in the lunch hall too,
Ignore what we're writing, it's not that exciting.
Be yourselves - let us get to know the 'real you'.

Chorus Actually that's not the case.....

Verse 3 (Mr Measley solo, or all 3 inspectors together)
If there's anything you want to tell us, just drop by.
Are your teachers ever late for class
And do you know the reason why?
Mischief, when reported, is it always sorted?
Talk to us, we'll be confidential - don't be shy!

Chorus Actually that's not the case.....

Repeat Any secrets we have tried
To cover up and hide
They''ll expose them all eventually!
