Attention, please - Ahmed!
I said, put that down!
Maelyn, it’s a museum,
Not a school playground
Okay! Riley and Rihanna,
Will you turn back ‘round?
Or we’ll walk straight out that door
I’m warning you!

Dylan, please don’t dawdle!
Lucy, get in line
No talking!
Faisal, get off Gabriel!
Who made Crystal cry?
Right! I’ve got eyes on Ayla
I saw Jade outside
Well, we can’t wait anymore

Okay!
Is everybody here?
Everybody!
I thought we swore
We wouldn’t bring them back this year!

Oh-oh-oh-oh!

What I’d give for a class of quiet children,
A minute of peace
If just for one day the chattеr would cease
A little bit of “zip-it”,
Somе blessed release
Ah-ah, what I’d give!

What I’d give for a class of quiet children,
Seen but not heard
For ones who keep shtum and don’t say one word
The lesson for today is “do not disturb”
Ah-ah, what we’d give!

Jade, just a moment please!
I’ll get to you
Keep moving
Can it, Kaylie!
Maya, yes that means you too!
Excuse me!
Bailey, are you bleeding?
Lyra’s in the loo
Now, don’t run, don’t slouch, don’t chew!

Children are a blessing,
Sent from on high
Each child is an angel,
And we’ll help them to fly
Chelsea, please don’t choke
Charley Ann with your tie
Oh, we know how lucky we are!

But what I’d give for a class of quiet children,
A minute of peace
If just for one day the chatter would cease
A little bit of “zip-it”,
Some blessed release
Ah-ah, what I’d give!

What I’d give for a class of quiet children,
No drama, no fuss
For ones who don’t whinge,
Don’t whine and don’t cuss
Who never run with scissors,
Or sing on the bus
Ah-ah, what we’d give!

For quiet here!
Never get detention,
Don’t require attention
The blessed kind who never start a fight, fight!
Oh, how we adore them,
‘Cause we can ignore them
The ones who never scratch,
Or kick, or climb!

No, please don’t touch that!
No, please don’t touch that!
Why are you sticky?
Said please don’t touch that!
What have you got there?
Christ, is it moving?
Please don’t, please don’t,
Please don’t, please don’t,
Please don’t, please don’t

What I’d give (What I’d give)
What I’d give (For quiet kids!)
What I’d give (What I’d give)
What I’d give (What I’d give)
What I’d give!
