Shouldn't have done that

 
Plans made in the nursery
Can change the course of history
Remember that
 
Mummy's annoyed, says go and play
Don't show your face
Stay away all day
Shouldn't have done that
 
A small boy and his infantry
Marching around so naturally
Shouldn't have done that
 
Grows up and goes to school
Such a nice boy
Obeys all the rules
Mummy's proud of that
 
Leaves school to follow his ambition
Knows what he wants
To be a politician
Shouldn't have done that!
