Education (Трисс Воительница)

O’tis marvellous what an education docs for a chap,
His eyes light up when he puts on the old thinkin’ cap,
His brain begins to whirr an’ click,
Ideas pour in fast an’ thick,
‘Cos that’s what an education’s for!

If it takes one mole to dig a hole,
Ten seasons and a bit.
How many moles could dig that hole,
If they were fat an’ fit?
Then if two squirrels helped them,
As deep as they could reach.
If those two squirrels made a pair,
The answer is a peach!

That’s what an education does for a chap,
It leaves the blinkin’ duffers in a bit of a flap,
For learnin’ facts you may depend,
One spouts out answers without end,
So hearken now an’ I’ll astound you more!

If two sparrows had six arrows,
And set out to shoot a duck,
Just how long would it take them,
Before they had some luck?
The answer’s jolly simple,
As clever types will know,
To bag that duck they had no luck,
Because they had no bow!

‘Cos that’s what an education does for a chap,
When learnin’ dawns upon him like a big thunderclap,
As they hear his knowledge flow,
The clods will cheer and shout what ho,
Now that’s what an education’s for!

If I had two an’ you had two,
And she had two as well,
If they had two, just like we two,
The truth to you I’ll tell,
If one knew far too little,
Those facts would be too few,
But if one had education,
One would find the answers, too!
