They used to call me Matilda, “She’s a quiet one” they said
And just like Matilda, there wasn’t much I hadn’t read
Dahl and Dickens and Shakespeare too on a rainy day
Always looking for something new to take me far away
But I’ve got bad habit and it’s getting me into trouble
The more I ignore it my trouble only doubles
And now I’m on the run from the library
Reading should be fun but I’m a liability
They can come and get me but I won’t come quietly
I really should just pay my library fine
And stop running all the time
Who doesn’t love a big fat book? Who doesn’t love a tale?
I love to smell the pages I just sit back and inhale
And I’ll never buy a Kindle coz the magic’s just not there
I can’t do my reading on a screen can’t leave my bookshelves bare
But I’ve got bad habit and it’s getting me into trouble
The more I ignore it my trouble only doubles
And now I’m on the run from the library
Reading should be fun but I’m a liability
They can come and get me but I won’t come quietly
I really should just pay my library fine
And stop running all the time
I blame the new self-serve machines
I don’t even know what that computer means
They never even stamp your books anymore
So when are they due back? I’m never sure
I never agreed to abide by your by-laws anyway
Now I’m on the run from the library
Reading should be fun but I’m a liability
They can come and get me but I won’t come quietly
I really should just pay
Now I’m on the run from the library
Reading should be fun but I’m a liability
They can come and get me but I won’t come quietly
I really should just pay my library fine
And stop running all the time

His costumes make him feel so free
He dressed up like a bumblebee
Oktoberfest in his lederhosen
He loves to dress up he is always posin’
He dressed up like a peanut bar
He tried to rap but he took it too far
And he really pulls the stops out for Hallow-Dean
He’s the best Lady Gaga there’s ever been
He’s a lean, mean, deaning machine
He’s the best Dean Greendale’s ever seen
He’s a lean, mean, deaning machine
I wanna see him on the cover of a magazine
Some people say he’s like an evil genie coz out of nowhere he’ll appear
Other people think that he’s obnoxious coz he throws five dances every year
But we know he’s the coolest guy on campus
We know that he’s simply the best
But he’ll never notice us at all coz he only has eyes for Jeff
Tina Turner for daylight saving
UV body paint when he’s raving
Mr Winter when it snows
And little wooden boy Dean-occhio
Sexy builder, Uncle Sam
Catwoman, Cow Girl, Fireman
Mock his outfits or get real mean
Frankly my dear he don’t give a dean
He’s a lean, mean, deaning machine
He’s the best Dean Greendale’s ever seen
He’s a lean, mean, deaning machine
I wanna see him on the cover of a magazine
Some people say he’s like an evil genie coz out of nowhere he’ll appear
Other people think that he’s obnoxious coz he throws five dances every year
But we know he’s the coolest guy on campus
We know that he’s simply the best
But he’ll never notice us at all coz he only has eyes for Jeff
D.E.A.N.P.E.L.T.O.N
D.E.A.N.P.E.L.T.O.N
D.E.A.N.P.E.L.T.O.N
D.E.A.N.P.E.L.T.O.N
We know he’s the coolest guy on campus
We know that he’s simply the best
But he’ll never notice us at all coz he only has eyes for Jeff

She knows that a circle has no beginning
And she knows when a wrackspurt’s in her brain
She makes up the tune to the song she’s singing
She call her Loony but she’s perfectly sane
She made a necklace out of Butterbeer corks and she skips when she can’t be bothered to walk
She keeps her wand tucked behind her left ear
She made a lion hat for Gryffindor, have you heard it? It’s awesome it really roars
Everyone thinks that girl is so weird
Other people laugh and tease her
But secretly they wanna be her
So she’s the one who’s laughing in the end
I wish Luna was my friend,
Yes I do
I wish Luna was my friend
It’s true
She’s searching for the lost diadem of Ravenclaw
She seeks the wisdom that it might bring to her head
In the middle of the night she likes to sleepwalk
So she always wears her shoes to bed
Other people laugh and tease her
But secretly they wanna be her
So she’s the one who’s laughing in the end
I wish Luna was my friend,
Yes I do
I wish Luna was my friend
It’s true
Always looking so surprised
With her silver blonde hair and her big wide eyes
In her sparkling dress robes and matching shoes
She is beautiful as a poet’s muse
She’s Luna
She knows that a circle has no beginning
And she knows when a wrackspurt’s in her brain
She makes up the tune to the song she’s singing
She’s amazing
Luna Lovegood is her name
Other people laugh and tease her
But secretly they wanna be her
So she’s the one who’s laughing in the end
I wish Luna was my friend,
Yes I do
I wish Luna was my friend
It’s true

He said “I think that I might be a psychopath”
“Coz I remember all the animals that I’ve killed”
She said “I’ve just gotta leave this boring town”
“Coz it’s making me angry and it’s making me ill”
He lives in a house with too many windows
He thinks that his dad is a bit of a dick
She lives with the perfect family with twins
But her stepdad’s a massive prick
So he decided to pretend to fall in love with the girl
And she trusted him coz he never fit in
But soon they became one another’s worlds
And she felt really comfortable and safe with him
So they stole his dad’s car and ran away together
Didn’t have a plan it was just something to do
Didn’t know they were changing their lives forever
It was hard to separate the lies from the truth
She just wanted to find someone who was real
He just wanted to feel how it feels to feel
He was more like Bonnie and she was more like Clyde
As they drove into the sunset
Side by side
They started stealing but they said that it was for good
“If it’s a chain it’s free reign” so says her dad
They only steal from the rich like Robin Hood
But it wasn’t long til things turned pretty bad
Broke into a house while lying low
Dancing through the night in the home of a stranger
Saw the dust and the overflowing post
Never crossed their minds they might be in danger
And he realised he was not a psychopath
When he killed a man just save her life
He had to do it she was screaming and she was crying
So he stabbed him in the neck with a hunting knife
He lay dead on the floor in a pool of blood
It spread around him in the shape of a heart
They cleaned the scene like they’d seen on the TV
And made sure no one saw them depart
She just wanted to find someone who was real
He just wanted to feel how it feels to feel
He was more like Bonnie and she was more like Clyde
As they drove into the sunset
To hide
She bleached her hair and he bought a Hawaiian shirt
Disguises from Oxfam not so effective
She said “Let’s find my dad he’ll know what to do”
“He’ll keep up safe from the detectives”
They found him in a caravan by the sea
But he turned out to be a liar and a snake
When he called the cops on his baby girl
Even though he said he’d always keep her safe
He said he’d keep her safe
She just wanted to find someone who was real
He just wanted to feel how it feels to feel
He was more like Bonnie and she was more like Clyde
Nowhere left to run to
Nowhere left to hide
Turned out to be his 18th birthday
She didn’t know it made her pretty sad
She said “I would’ve got you a birthday present”
Didn’t know it was the last one that he’d have
He said “Tell them I’m sorry and I did it all”
And he kissed her on the lips and ran out to sea
And she heard the gunshot and watched him fall
And she screamed as he dropped to his knees
He dropped to his knees
He just wanted to protect his girl
But now it’s the end of the world
It’s the end of the world
He just wanted to protect his girl
But now it’s the end of the world
It’s the end of the world...

I thought girls were meant to stick together
I thought girls were meant to be like cook
But you don’t care you’re there like yeah whatever
And I’ve always been an optimistic fool
Turns out that you only care about yourself
And you don’t care what others have to say
I wonder if you ever think about anyone else
This isn’t a game I wanna play
So tell me why you gotta be such a mean girl?
Calling all the other girls names and lying, cheating, making everyone cry
Why you gotta be such a mean girl?
Maybe I could help you if I just knew why
Now I’ve got to be the grown up person
Even though I want to run and hide
So I’ll just close my eyes and I’ll ignore you
Now no one knows that you’re the one who lied
And I’ll just keep on smiling oh so sweetly
Scared that we’ll be enemies forever
I’ll keep cleaning up your mess so neatly
Wishing that us girls could stick together
So tell me why you gotta be such a mean girl?
Calling all the other girls names and lying, cheating, making everyone cry
Why you gotta be such a mean girl?
Maybe I could help you if I just knew why
But I could be a mean girl too make everybody turn against you
I could really fuck things up for you if I wanted to
I could make your face smell like a foot or I could change the way you look
Or I could stick your picture in a Burn Book
But that’s something I’d never do
Coz I’d never be a mean girl too
And I’m not one to hold a grudge or make a fuss
So I’ve got one thing left to say
You can sit with us
Yeah you can sit with us
But tell me why you gotta be such a mean girl?
Calling all the other girls names and lying, cheating, making everyone cry
Why you gotta be such a mean girl?
Maybe I could help you if I just knew why

There’s something that I need to ask you
There’s something that I’d like to say
I really, really like you
And I think today’s the day
Coz we’ve known each other years now
We’re as close as close can be
So would you do me an honour
And come to Mooby’s with me?
I wanna go to Mooby’s with you
So let’s make a date for Mooby’s just us two
I don’t even like fast food but Mooby’s gets me in the mood
I wanna go to Mooby’s with you
We’ve been to Barcelona, we’ve been to Alton Towers
We’ve been to the seaside and talked on the phone for hours
And we’ve been on boats and been on planes, adventures we have had
But we’ve never been to Mooby’s and it makes me kinda sad
I wanna go to Mooby’s with you
So let’s make a date for Mooby’s just us two
I don’t even like fast food but Mooby’s gets me in the mood
I wanna go to Mooby’s with you
You can have a burger and I’ll have fries
We’ll hold hands under the table, look in each other’s eyes
With a milkshake and a salad and some ketchup on the side
It’ll be the perfect night
I wanna go to Mooby’s with you
So let’s make a date for Mooby’s just us two
I don’t even like fast food but Mooby’s gets me in the mood
I wanna go to Mooby’s with you
I wanna go to Mooby’s with you
