The Ballad of English Class

Location

In Ancient times there was a tale

That’s not so known to one and all,

A tale of war, a tale of hate

A tale of girls and boys and fate

 

For the girls there were only two

To themselves they did stay true  

Against the boys they did stand

And made them meet their demands

 

Chorus:

Although outnumbered they did not fail

Up against the mighty males

With their words and not their fists   

They made them cower at their wits

 

The boys were strong but not that smart

Never speaking from the heart

All ways thinking they were best

Treating the girls like unwelcomed guests

 

The battle started behind Hell’s gate

Each one brought by their own fate

The boys were protected by Aries might

And his powers of unlimited fight

 

The girls had Athena on their side

Only because she was oh so wise

The battle started at the stroke of ten

As soon as Hades left his den

 

Chorus:

Although outnumbered they did not fail

Up against the mighty males

With their words and not their fists  

They made them cower at their wits

 

The guys ran first with their mighty cries

A move that was just not that wise

The girls stood firm with their wits and smarts

 Waiting for the true battle to start

 

 

The boys did slash the boys did strike

A move the girls did not much like

The girls fought back with only their wits

And with some luck they didn’t get hit

 

 

Chorus:

Although outnumbered they did not fail

Up against the mighty males

With their words and not their fists  

They made them cower at their wits

 

 The girls stood firm and did not tire

But the fighting burned down the guy’s fire

Then the girls brought out there blades

And throw them down into the shade

 

They forgave the boys ways

Only if they would let them decay

And then they went back to Jemicy  

To live together in perfect harmony

 

Chorus:

Although outnumbered they did not fail

Up against the mighty males

With their words and not their fists  

They made them cower at their wits
