What School? - The Proclaimers

I like dogs and I like people

Especially the Scottish kind

But Scottish dogs have an in-built advantage

Over Scottish humankind

A wagging tail

And a little wet nose

Can find new love

Or avoid potential foes

But in this small ancient nation

We gather information

In slower ways

And worser ways

Some do appraise by using this phrase

«What school did you go to?»

Sounds like

«Where did you spend your teenage days?»

But «what school did you go to?»

Doesn’t mean what it says

Plant and Page wrote «A Stairway To Heaven»

I don’t like rock but that’s genius

And in that song Percy sings «Sometimes words have two meanings»

My God, he didn’t know how right he was

Now I know he’s a big Wolves fan

But does he favour rebel songs

Or marching flute bands?

On the west side of this country

To stop it getting funky

As they extend the hand

They’ll say like Kissinger or Talleyrand

«What school did you go to?»

Sounds like

«Where did you spend your teenage days?»

But «what school did you go to?»

Doesn’t mean what it says

Let’s hear it for the dogs

Sniffin lickin

Let’s hear it for the dogs

Sniffin lickin

Sniffin lickin

Sniffin lickin

Sniffin lickin

Sniffin lickin

Sniffin lickin

«What school did you go to?»

Sounds like

«Where did you spend your teenage days?»

But «what school did you go to?»

Doesn’t mean what it says
