Original Broadway Cast of Matilda
Revolting Children
[BRUCE]
Whoa-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh!
Never again will she get the best of me
Never again will she take away my freedom
And we won't forget the day we fought –
[KIDS]
For the right to be a little bit naughty!
Never again –
[BRUCE]
– will the Chokey door slam!
[KIDS]
Never again –
[BRUCE]
– will I be bullied, and –
[KIDS]
Never again –
[BRUCE]
– will I doubt it when –
[KIDS]
My mummy says I'm a miracle
Never again!
Never again will we live behind bars
Never again now that we know we are
Revolting children
Living in revolting times
We sing revolting songs
Using revolting rhymes
We'll be revolting children
Till our revolting's done
And we'll have the Trunchbull bolting –
We’re revolting!
Aaahhh!
We are revolting children
Living in revolting times
We sing revolting songs
Using revolting rhymes
We'll be revolting children
Till our revolting's done
And we'll have the Trunchbull bolting –
We're revolting!
[TOMMY]
We will become a screaming horde!
[LAVENDER]
Take out your hockey stick and use it as a sword!
[BRUCE]
Never again will we be ignored!
[HORTENSIA]
We'll find out where the chalk is stored!
[NIGEL]
And draw rude pictures on the board!
[ALICE]
It's not insulting!
[KIDS]
We're revolting!
We can S - P - L how we like
If enough of us are wrong
Wrong is right
Every one N - O - R - T - why?
'Cause we're a little bit naughty!
So we got to stay inside the line
If we disobey at the same time
There is nothing that the Trunchbull can do
[BRUCE]
She can take her hammer and S - H – U
[KIDS]
You didn't think you could push us too far
But there's no going back now. We
