🎤 Sing along

Sing with the chorus

  • We don't need no education
  • We don't need no thought control
  • No dark sarcasm in the classroom
  • Teacher, leave them kids alone

Echo the hook

  • (Wrong, do it again)
  • (Wrong, do it again)
  • If you don't eat yer meat, you can't have any pudding
  • How can you have any pudding if you don't eat yer meat?
don'tneedleave
