LYRICS;

Oi, new kids!
And so you think you're able
To survive this mess by being a prince or a princess
You will soon see
There's no escaping tragedy
And even
If you put in heaps of effort
You're just wasting energy
'Cause your life as you know it is ancient history
I have suffered in this jail
I've been trapped inside this cage for ages
This living 'ell!
But if I try I can remember
Back before my life had ended
Before my happy days were over
Before I first heard the peeling of the bell
Like you, I was curious!
So innocent, I asked a thousand questions But unless you want to suffer
Listen up and I will teach you
A thing or two
You listen here, my dear
You'll be punished so severely if you step out of line and if you cry it will be double
You should stay out of trouble and remember to be extremely careful
Why?
(Why!?)
Why? Did you hear what we said!?
Just you wait for Phys-Ed!
What's Phys-Ed?
Physical education
The Trunchbull Speciality
Who are you?
We're prefects, we're here to take you to class
So we're going to start learning?
Oh, you'll start learning, alright
Great, I already know the alphabet!
You don't know the alphabet until we learn you the alphabet
And so you think you're able
To survive this mess by being a prince or a princess, you will soon see
There's no escaping tragedy
And even
If you put in heaps of effort
You're just wasting energy
'Cause your life as you know it is ancient history
I have suffered in this jail
I've been trapped inside this cage for ages
This living 'ell!
But if I try I can remember
Back before my life had ended
Before my happy days were over
Before I first heard the peeling of the bell
Like you, I was curious
So innocent, I asked a thousand questions But unless you want to suffer
Listen up and I will teach you
A thing or two
You listen here, my dear
You'll be punished so severely if you step out of line and if you cry it will be double
You should stay out of trouble and remember to be extremely careful
Why?
(Why!?)

I close my eyes and listen to this, it feels like theyre singing about total drama island

The children that were showing Matilda around were either helping them or torturing them

They never said Z… my name starts with Z 😔

This song is no doubt a very relatable thing for everyone how things can change suddenly and become so hard but you can remember before this happened back when things were much better

What they don't tell you is that When they say tragedy, they are talking about one of the students. And it's spelt Trajedaigh

This probably sums up what school is :/

Basically after you reach high school and your parents start pressuring you to get A grades and start talking about SAT buying you books you don’t want or care about putting you in classes outside of school that you don’t like

What amazing choreography.

You can tell how British this is bc they said "Haitch" for H and they said "Zed" for Z😂

I wish I could play this song at my school

When they enter the school i saw a bord writing: none of you are special 👁👄👁

Trying to memorize it but it’s hard to remember the words

Honestly insane how they cleverly put the letters into the lyrics

A-ble

B-eing

C (see)

Trage-D

E-ven

(e)F-fort

ener-G

H-cient(ancient, but british accent)

I

J-ail

Rem-M-ber

N-ded

O-ver

P-ling (pealing)

Q-rious (curious)

R-sked (asked, but british accent)

unl-S (unless)

T-each

U (you)

se-V-erely

W (double, you)

X-tremely

Y (why)

phys-Z (phys-ed. British, so Z is pronounced Zed.)

I love the prefects are so cute

Pls complete the song






OI,NEW KIDS!

So you think you're A-ble,

To survive this mess by B-ing a prince or a princess

You will soon C

There's no escaping trage-D

And E-ven

If you put in heaps of F-ffort

You're just wasting ener-G

'Cause your life as you know it is H-cient history

I

Have suffered in this J-ail

Having trapped inside this K-ge

For ages, this living H-L

But if I try I can't rem-M-ber

When before my life had N-ded

Before my happy days were O-ver

Before I first heard the P-ling of the bell

Like you I was Q-rious

So innocent I R-sked a thousand questions

But, unl-S you want to suffer

Listen up and I will T-ch you, a thing or two

U listen here, my dear, you'll be punished so se-V-rely if you step out of line

If you cry it'll be W should stay out of trouble

And remember to be X-tremely careful

Why?

Y ?

Did you hear what we said? Just wait for Phy-Z

"You can't describe school in the alphabe-"

I LOVE MATILDA BUT I HAVENT WATCHED THE MUSICAL YET.

Can this be how everybody start learning the alphabet! No seriously I would’ve been motivated in kindergarten if this is what I saw the first day!

I love how most people are aware this was by Tim Minchin, wonderful job at this (:

😅😅😅😅

Pure genius that Tim Minchin hid the alphabet in the song

First time i heard this song i was wondering where z was bc i forgot other people pronounce it "zed" 😭😭😭

I just noticed something, a letter appears when they say the word that has the same pronouncation as the letter

The Prefects in this number: Nice job...Some students take their jobs seriously.

Can we be in a show. All of your followers please

What kind of childrend did that?
Mind blow!

Why can’t I find an instrumental for this version!? It’s so good!

My dream, Matilda is the original Matilda, mixed in with the new songs that would be the most amazing Matilda I’ve ever watched

Welp- that's 1 way to traumatize an 8 year old 💀👍

I don't know how this was done on stage but wow whoever storyboard this sequence was an absolute genius.
