“I’ll Tell Mr Paisley!”

1 Leave a comment on verse 1 0 A certain Liverpool junior school
once had the best behaved kids
In the land
Detention was unheard of
No snot-nosed urchins lined up
In dirty football boots
Outside the staffroom
Because the head teacher Jessie Paisley
only had to look, shake her head slowly
Then utter the immortal lines
“I’ll tell Mr Paisley”
Perfect harmony ensured

Notes

Jessie Paisley, wife of the great Sir Bob Paisley, was a schoolteacer in Liverpool during Bob’s glorious days at the club.
