I Used To Be a Prefect

I Used to be a Prefect By Robert (Bob) Moore © 2016 I used to be a Prefect, when I went to Spurley Hey I’d be standing at the front gate every day With my note pad and my pen I’d see who turned up late and take their name, and this is what I’d say If you’re late again this week your name goes in the book on Friday, I will come and get you from your class I’ll take you to Mr. Walmsley who’ll try to show to you the being late is not the smartest thing He wields a real mean strap and he won’t take no crap and when it hits, you’ll really feel it sting There were some I would not book or after school for you they’d look Peter Hesketh, and Charlie Garret too The two best fighters in the school my mother didn’t raise a fool so I was always busy, just as they walked through It seems just like yesterday they were good times at Spurley Hey I hope your school days, were just as good for you
