Song 10: "Finale Medley"
Pupils 7,8,9 and 10 onstage (ALL sing)
What is this strange machine?
Should we just turn it on?
Covered in dust, looks like it's been here for years
I've got a feeling that something
Really strange has begun.
The Genius Machine
The Genius Machine
So small, yet so powerful
So bad, yet so good
Step back and hope for the best
From our Genius Machine
Pupils 7,8,9 and 10 exit stage, PE teacher and footballers enter
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo
Look into my anxious eyes
Can't you see how worried I am?
Yeah yeah yeah
I am a defender and my team mate
Has just brought down a man.
Yeah yeah yeah
The referee's just blown their whistle
They really did go in very hard.
Now all we can do is hope and pray
That they do not now reach for a card
Got to defend a free kick
Oh, oh, oh
How to defend a free kick
Oh, oh, oh
Now we're pretty good at this
No we're not too shoddy
Don't let that ball get past your body
Oh...no...
Got to defend a free kick.
PE teacher and footballers exit stage. History teacher and pupils enter
Anglo Saxons lived long ago
They came from Europe, see how they row
Landed in Anglia, in the East
To celebrate, they had a feast.
Wooden house were what they built
They drove out the Celts and felt no guilt
Used helmets, armour, sword and shields
And when they were done, they farmed their fields
Anglo Saxons...yeah
Anglo Saxons...yeah
Anglo Saxons...yeah
Anglo Saxons...yeah
History teacher and pupils exit stage. Caretaker and cleaners enter.
Now you see me as a figure of fun
Working in the background fixing the school.
Back in the 80s yeah, I was the one
I was a legend, man I was so cool.
I strutted like a peacock
On the dancefloor and stage
I was a fashion icon, defining an age
I moved throughout society
With such style and flair
A party wasn't happening
If I wasn't there!
So take me back to the 80s
Take, take me back to the 80s
Life was so great in the 80s
Oh I belong in the 80s...yeah!
Caretaker and cleaners exit. Mr Johnson, Nigel and Hubert enter
Don'tcha Know? Don'tcha Know?
Don'tcha Know who I am?...I said
Don'tcha Know? Don'tcha Know?
Don'tcha Know who I am?
I'll move millions of records...yeah, yeah, yeah
Sell out stadiums and halls...yeah, yeah, yeah
I'll have fans in ev'ry country
My music will have broken down walls
So I just don't understand it
That puzzled look when you look at my face
Surely you must have heard of me
Like everybody else in the human race.
Tell me...yeah, yeah
Tell me...yeah, yeah
Tell me...yeah, yeah
Tell me that you know who I am!
I'll be the King of Rock n roll...uh, uh, huh!
I'll be the King of Rock n roll...uh, uh, huh!
I'll be the King of Rock n roll...uh, uh, huh!
I'll the King of Rock n Rooooooll!
