The Proclaimers — What School?

[Verse 1] I like dogs and I like people Especially the Scottish kind But Scottish dogs have an in-built advantage Over Scottish humankind [Pre-Chorus] A wagging tail And a little wet nose Can find new love Or avoid potential foes But in this small ancient nation We gather information In slower ways and worser ways Some do appraise by using this phrase [Chorus] "What school did you go to?" Sounds like "Where did you spend your teenage days?" But "what school did you go to?" Doesn't mean what it says [Verse 2] Plant and Page wrote "A Stairway To Heaven" I don't like rock but that's genius And in that song Percy sings "Sometimes words have two meanings" My God, he didn't know how right he was [Pre-Chorus] Now I know he's a big Wolves fan But does he favour rebel songs Or marching flute bands? On the west side of this country To stop it getting funky As they extend the hand They'll say like Kissinger or Talleyrand [Chorus] "What school did you go to?" Doesn't mean "Where did you spend your teenage days?" No, "what school did you go to?" Doesn't mean what it says [Bridge] Let's hear it for the dogs Sniffin' (lickin'), lickin' (sniffin') Let's hear it for the dogs Sniffin' (lickin'), lickin' (sniffin') Sniffin' lickin' Sniffin' lickin' Sniffin' lickin' Sniffin' lickin' [Chorus] "What school did you go to?" Sounds like "Where did you spend your teenage days?" But "what school did you go to?" Doesn't mean what it says "What school did you go to?" Does not mean "Where did you spend your teenage days?" No, "what school did you go to?" Doesn't mean what it says
