Dreb48 Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Just heard some young kids running down the road singing cos it's the last day of term and I'm trying to remember the rhyme we sang in the 50s when school finished for summer. I've tried googling it but can only get the bits I remember which are ' no more school, no more stick, no more blinkin 'rithmetic ' Anyone remember the full rhyme?

hillsbro Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 No more school, no more stick, No more rotten arithmetic. No more English, no more French, No more sitting on the old school bench . If the teacher interferes, Get him down and box his ears. If that doesn't serve him right, Blow him up with dynamite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreb48 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 Thanks Philip, we were both probably singing it on Newbould Lane waiting for the bus ! I'm sure there's another bit about ' no more English, no more French, no more sitting on the old school bench ' ? ---------- Post added 17-07-2015 at 15:53 ---------- Yep that's it. Thanks for the addition Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 We had to make sure that no member of school staff heard us too. In all the many rhymes I recall as a child not one included any swear words, how times have changed. Whilst shopping in the supermarket today I was behind a young man wearing a tee-shirt that was printed with expletives......why?

Dreb48 Posted July 17, 2015 Author Share Posted July 17, 2015 So true Duffems. Even saying ' blinkin ' or ' blummin ' was outrageous in those days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DUFFEMS Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 So true Duffems. Even saying ' blinkin ' or ' blummin ' was outrageous in those days. I once recall saying "hell" in front of my grandmother, I meant to say "heck", the look she gave me was enough to stop a clock never mind the, "Don't use language like that, you're not a grown-up", I was about 16!

Grappler Posted July 17, 2015 Share Posted July 17, 2015 Well no more "stick" these days anyway A modern version would be:- No more school No more friendly chats with the teacher, when I decide to cause disruption and swear in class No more homework because it affects my human rights and my parents will come and see the head teacher, who will side with them, so the teacher gets into trouble it doesn't rhyme, but you get the picture.........
