[BRUCE]
Woah!
Never again will she get the best of me!
Never again will she take away my freedom
And we won't forget the day we fought

[CHILDREN]
For the right to be a little bit naughty!
Never again

[BRUCE]
Will the Chokey door slam!

[CHILDREN]
Never again

[BRUCE]
Will I be bullied, and

[CHILDREN]
Never again

[BRUCE]
Will I doubt it when

[ALL CHILDREN]
My mummy says I'm a miracle!
Never again!
Never again will we live behind bars!
Never again now that we know...

We are revolting children
Living in revolting times
We sing revolting songs
Using revolting rhymes
We'll be revolting children
'Til our revolting's done
And we'll have the Trunchbull vaulting
We're revolting! Ah!

We are revolting children
Living in revolting times
We sing revolting songs
Using revolting rhymes
We'll be revolting children
'Til our revolting's done
And we'll have the Trunchbull vaulting
We're revolting!

[TOMMY]
We will become a screaming horde!

[LAVENDER]
Take out your hockey stick, and use it as a sword!

[ERIC]
Never again will we be ignored!

[AMANDA]
We'll find out where the chalk is stored

[NIGEL]
And draw rude pictures on the board!

[HORTENSIA]
It's not insulting!

[ALL CHILDREN]
We're revolting!
We can S-P-L how we like!
If enough of us are wrong
Wrong is right!
Every word N-O-R-T-Why?
Cause we're a little bit naughty!
You say we oughta "stay inside the line"
If we disobey at the same time
There is nothing that the Trunchbull can do!

[ERIC]
She can take her hammer and S-H-U!

[ALL CHILDREN]
You didn't think you could push us too far
But there's no going back now, we...
R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N

[BRUCE]
Revolting time!

[CHILDREN]
We're S-I-N-G
U-S-I-N-G...

[BRUCE]
Yeah...

[CHILDREN]
We'll be R-E-V-O-L-T-I-N-G

[BRUCE]
Oh...

[ALL CHILDREN]
It is 2-L-8-4-U
We are revolting!

We are revolting children
Living in revolting times
We sing revolting songs
Using revolting rhymes
We'll be revolting children
'Til our revolting's done
It is 2-L-8-4-U

[BRUCE]
Never again will she get the best of me!

[CHILDREN]
We are revolting children
Living in revolting times
We sing revolting songs
Using revolting rhymes

[BRUCE]
Whoa-yeah!

[CHILDREN]
We'll be revolting children
'Til our revolting's done

[BRUCE]
Down-down-down-down!

[ALL CHILDREN]
It is 2-L-8-4-U
We are REVOLTING!
