(Trunchbull)
Look at these trophies
See how my trophies
gleam
in the sunlight,
see how they shine
What do you think it took
to become English
Hammer throwing champion
Nineteen si ty nine?
Do you think in that moment When
my big moment came
That I treated the rules
With casual disdain
Well,
LIKE HELL!
As I stepped up to the circle
did I change my plan?
Hmm...what?
As I chalked up my palms
did I wave my hands?
I DID NOT!
As I started my spin
did I look at the view?
Did I drift off and dream
for a minute or two?
Do you think I faltered
or amended my rotation?
Do you think I altered
my intended elevation?
As the hammer took off
did I change my grunt
From the grunt
I had practised for many a month?
Not a jot,
not a dot did I stray
from the plot
Not a detail of my
throw was adjusted or forgotten
Not even when the hammer
left my hands
And sailed up,
up above the stands
Did I let myself go?
No, no, no, no,
no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...
No
If you want to throw
the hammer
for your country,
(la la la la)
You have to stay inside
the circle
all the time,
(na na na na na na)
And if you want to make
the team,
You don't need happiness
or self esteem,
You just need
to keep
your feet
inside the line.
Sing, children
2, 3, 4!
(Children and Trunchbull) If you want
to throw the hammer
(Trunchbull) for your country,
(Children) Bambinatum
est maggitum.
(Children and Trunchbull) You have
to stay inside
the circle
all the time.
(Children) Circulum!
Maggitum! Maggitum!
(Children: Ahh's)
(Trunchbull) And if you want to
teach success,
You don't use
sympathy or tenderness.
(Children: Tenderness)
You have to force the little
squits
to toe the line!
Sing, Jenny
2, 3, 4!
(Jenny) If you want to throw
the hammer for your country,
(Children)Bambinatum,
Bambinatum, Gloria Maggitum
(Jenny) You have
to stay inside
the circle all the time.
(Children)Circulum
e Deus, Deus.
(Trunchbull) Apply just one simple rule
To hammer throwing, life, and school
Life's a ball,
so learn to throw it.
Find the bally line
and toe it,
And always keep your feet
inside the line.
Now get out!
