Lyrics The Smell of Rebellion

This school of late has started reeking
Quiet maggot when I'm speaking
Reeking with a most disturbing scent
Only the finest nostrils smell it
But I know it oh too well
It is the odor of rebellion
It's the bouquet of dissent
And you may bet your britches this head-mistress finds this foul odiferousness wholly olfactorily insulting
And so to stop the stench's spread
I find a session of phys-ed
Sorts the merely rank from the revolting
Come along squits
I'll take it from here Jenny
The smell of rebellion comes out in the sweat
And phys-ed will get you sweating
And it won't be long before I smell the pong of aiding and abetting
Before a weed becomes too big and greedy you really need to nip it in the bud
Before the worm starts to turn you must scrape off the dirt and rip it from the mud
The whiff of insurgence
The stench of intent
The reek of pre-pubescent protest
The pong of defiance
The odor of coup
The waft of anarchy in progress
Once we've exercised these demons they shall be too pooped for scheming
Some double-time discipline should stop the rot from setting in
Discipline, discipline
For children who aren't listening
For fiddlers who are fidgeting and whispering in history
Their chattering and chittering
Their nattering and twittering
Is tempered with a smattering of discipline
We must begin insisting on rigidity and discipline
Persistently resisting this anarchistic mischieving
These minutes you are frittering on pandering and pitying while little ones like this they just want discipline
The simpering and whimpering
The dribbling and the spittling
The Miss I need a tissue is an issue we can fix
There is no mystery to mastering the art of classroom mistressing
It's discipline, discipline
Discipline
The smell of rebellion
The stench of revolt
The reek of pre-pubescent plotting
The whiff of resistance
The pong of dissent
The stink of moral fiber rotting
Imagine a world with no children
Close your eyes and just dream
Imagine
Go on try it
The peace and the quiet
A babbling stream
Now imagine a woods with a cottage and inside that cottage we find
A parrot called Zeke
A carnival freak who can fold paper hats with his mind
And he says
Don't let them steal your horses
Don't let them take them away
If you find your way through they'll be waiting for you
Singing Neigh neigh
Neigh
Ah ha
And there just like I said the stinking maggot rears his head
Have you ever seen anything more repellent
Have you ever smelled anything worse
Than that smell of rebellion
The scent of revolt
The reek of insubordination
A whiff of resistance
The pong of dissent
And I will not stop 'till you are squashed
'Till this rebellion is quashed
'Till glorious sweaty discipline has washed this sickening stench
Away
