The Principal Was Never My Pal

The Principal Was Never My Pal By Elton Camp The memory aid that the principal is your pal Distinguishes from principle to each boy & gal That was a good enough way spelling to recall But it didn’t fit my view of the principal at all To me he was nothing but a frightful fiend Who, when I misbehaved, would intervene I even tried to avoid meeting him in the hall Because I didn’t want any interaction at all To avoid and fear him there was reason why He always had a most evil gleam in his eye It was obvious that he took intense delight In punishing any kid who didn’t act right Waiting outside the principal’s office door Was the thing in school I did most abhor That fellow was never any type pal to me But an ogre who would give the 3rd degree
