  [CHORUS]
  F            |Dm       |F            |Db      |
  How would you feel if I turned on the bath
  Bb              |C        |Db        |        |
  Ducked your head under and started to laugh?
  F             |Dm     |F          |Db   
  What would you do if I shut you outside
    |Bb          |C             |Db         |Dm  |C  |Db    
  To stand in the rain and catch cold so you die--ie--ied?
  
         |F (E)  Eb (D) |Db         |F   (E)  Eb (D) |Db
  I'm the schoo--oo--ool bully.  The cla--ass roo-oom cheat.
     |F (E)   Eb(D)|Db            |F (E) Eb (D)   |Db
  The na-aa-astiest playfriend you ev----er  could meet.
            |F  (E)  Eb(D)  |Db         |F   (E)  Eb (D)  |Db  
  I'll stick pi--ins in your fingers and tre--ead on  your feet.

  [second VERSE]
               Ab7sus4 Db
  We're on our own,    cousin
        Ab7  Db
  All alone, cousin 
        G7sus4             C
  Let's think of a game to play
          G7                      C
  Now the grown-ups have all gone away
      F#7sus4                 B           
  You won't be much fun being blind, deaf and dumb
           F#7                 B
  But I've no one to play with today.
         F7sus4                    Bb
  Do you know how to play hide-and-seek?
          F7                     Bb
  To find me it would take you a week
      E7sus4                       A
  But tied to that chair you won't go anywhere
            E7                  A
  There's a lot I can do with a freak
  
  [repeat CHORUS]
  Maybe a cigarette burn on your arm
  Would change your expression to one of alarm.
  I'll drag you around by a lock of your hair
  Or give you a push at the top of the sta-aa-airs.
  I'm the scho--oo--ool bully.  The cla--asro-oom cheat.
  The na--asti--iest playfriend you ev----er could meet.
  I'll put gla--ass in your dinner and spi--ikes in your seat.
  
  [repeat INTRO]
