ReplyDeletetold you its all shit that ops into my head
ReplyDeleteThe version I heard, the third line went "Now the school is burnt to ashes" but the rest was the same. This would have been sometime early 1990s- (Chicago).
ReplyDeleteWe sang it "Douse the halls" and "Strike a match" and "Watch the school", but essentially the same message. Circa 1984-85
ReplyDeletethe last line should read "hope the teachers burn their a****"
ReplyDeleteI learned it as "Burn the school and sweep the ashes" - I suppose even when being destructive we thought we should tidy up afterwards!
ReplyDeleteThis would be in Memphis in the 80s, at an all-girls' school.
