Hava Nagila


Joe do you have any outstanding

Memories from your schooldays

Being expelled

Seriously

The bus rides to the temporary dinner hall

Why temporary

The original building was found to be leaking

Had you nicked the lead

Right in one

The journey was about twenty minutes long

And we spent the time singing songs

Which was joyful and very rewarding

That sounds fun

It made up for the terrible stews

Did you have any favourite songs

Hava Nagila a Jewish folk song

it just resonated with me

Did you like your school

Very much

What did you take away from your school

All the silver in the coroners office

Add that to your joke book Joe

I took many things away from my school

But the one I really remember

Is that from an early age I realised

How important private schools were

If one wanted to pursue excellence

Our school helped Josie and I to build

The foundations of who we are today
