The teacher asks a question

And every hand goes up

But one boy stares out of the window

At a family of ducks

Michael pay attention!

Every lesson here you spoil

With your constant day dreaming

Come here boy face the wall!

Every time a parent's evening comes

The same thing's always said

Michael must try harder

He lives inside his head

But Michael is a clever lad

He just doesn't care for school

So he pretends he's stupid

And always plays the fool

He goes about his business

Throughout the schooling day

When he gets home afterwards

Nothing stands in his way

He performs plays for his family

Acting every part

He reads stories he wrote himself

And shows his works of art.
