Boys Will Be Boys Lyrics by Leon Rosselson

For the Good of the Nation

1981

[Reading From Childrens Book]
The children are in the house in the tree
"let us have tea here" says Jane "That will be fun!" she says
"Yes!" says Peter "You make the tea, I will draw- I will draw some flowers"
"Yes! I will be like mummy and get the tea!" says Jane "I like to get the tea!"
Turn over the page
The two children are at the farm
Here they are with the horses
Jane likes her little horse, she gives it an apple
Peter has a big horse
"I want to get on my horse Jane!" He says "Help me up please!"
Jane helps peter to get on his big horse
"There you are" she says "Away you go!"
"Thank you" says Peter "Thank you"
The two children play at home
"What will you do Peter?" says Jane
"I will make a toy farm" says Peter "What will you do Jane?"
"I want to help you make the farm" she says
"Thank you" says peter
Jane likes nothing better then to play with her dolls
But peter likes nothing better then a good game of cricket
Oh boys will be boys
[Intro]
Oh boys will be boys
It's a fact of human nature
And girls will grow up to be mothers
Oh boys will be boys
It’s a fact of human nature
And girls will grow up to be mothers
[Verse 1]
Look at little peter
Isn't he a terror
Shooting all the neighbours with his cowboy gun
Screaming like a jet plane
Always throwing something
I just can't control him
Trouble he’s the one
[Chorus]
Oh but boys will be boys
It's a fact of human nature
And girls will grow up to be mothers
[Verse 2]
Look at little Janey
Doesn't she look pretty?
Playing with her dolly
Proper little mum
Never getting dirty, never being naughty
Dont punch your sister peter, now look what you've done
[Chorus]
Oh but boys will be boys
It's a fact of human nature
And girls will grow up to be mothers
[Verse 3]
Whats come over Janey?
Janey's turning nasty
Left hook to the body right hook to the eye
Vicious little hussy
Now Peters started balling
What a bloody sissy who said you cry?
[Chorus]
Oh but boys will be boys
It's a fact of human nature
And girls will grow up to be mothers
[Verse 4]
Now things are topsie turvy
Janey wants a footbal
Peter just seems happy pushing prams along
Makes you feel so guilty
Kids are such a worry
Doctor Toctor tell me where did we go wrong
[Outro]
Because boys must be boys
It's a fact of human nature
And girls must grow up to be mothers
