If You Ever Lyrics by Gilbert O'sullivan

If You Ever Lyrics

    If you ever go to school
    Then you'll know that it's a fool
    Who believes a teachers pet
    Is a pupil like yourself
    For if i remember well
    My old teachers was a belt
    Which he kept around his shoulder blade
    There for the mistakes we made

    Have you ever been to sea
    And been told reluctantly
    That if you have one more drink
    We're all liable to sink
    If you have all i can say
    Is have a happy holiday
    And don't come back without a tan
    Especially from a far off land

    Funny old world this
    Or haven't you noticed
    Everything's glued on
    Nothing is screwed on
    One day we will come unstuck
    But until then we're in luck

    If you ever feel the need
    To go out and plant a seed
    Then by all means go ahead
    I won't stop you but instead
    I will tell you where to go
    And the seeds that you can grow
    And by way of payment back i think
    You could buy us all a drink

    Funny old world this
    Or haven't you noticed
    Nothing is certain
    Gone for a burton
    Something must be done they say
    But for the moment it can wait.
