Plans made in the nursery
Can change the course of history
Remember that

Mummy's annoyed, says "go and play"
Don't show your face, stay away all day
Shouldn't have done that

Small boy and his infantry
Marching around so naturally
Shouldn't have done that

Grows up and goes to school
Such a nice boy, obeys all the rules
Mummy's proud of that

Leaves school to follow his ambition
Knows what he wants to be a politician
Shouldn't have done that
