The smell of rebellion Lyrics – Chris Nightingale , Tim Minchin


(MISS TRUNCHBULL)
This school of late has started reeking –
Quiet, maggots, when I’m speaking!
–
Reeking with a most disturbing scent…
Only the finest nostrils smell it
But I know it oh-too-well
It is the odour of rebellion
It’s the bouquet of dissent!
And you may bet your britches
This headmistress
Finds this foul odiferousness
Wholly olfactorily insulting
The Top Verified Episodes of 2022 | Genius
And so to stop the stench’s spread
I find a session of phys. ed
Sorts the merely rank from the revolting

The smell of rebellion comes out in the sweat
And phys. ed. will get you sweating
And it won’t be long before I smell the pong
Of aiding and abetting!
A bit of phys. ed. will tell us who
Has a head full of rebellious thoughts
Hold! Hold!
Just like a rotten egg floats
To the top of a bucket of water
[Chorus 1:]
(One, two, three, four…)
The smell of rebellion!
The stench of revolt!
The reek of insubordination!
(I can’t take it anymore! One, two, three, four…)
The whiff of resistance!
The pong of dissent!
The funk of mutiny in action!
(That’s not right!)
Before a weed becomes too big and greedy
You really need to nip it in the bud
POSITION TWO!
Before the worm starts to turn
You must scrape off the dirt
And rip it from the mud!
