Iām gonna jump in the deep end of the pool
And not care how long it takes to come up.
When Marvinder Basanti calls me names,
Iām gonna tell him to get lost!
Iām gonna answer every question
Even though they might not be right.
Iām gonna tell Sharon Peters
I think sheās really cool.
Iām gonna admit to my teacher
That I donāt understand decimals.
My lips arenāt going to quiver
When I donāt get in the footy team.
And sit next to Billy Taylor
On the way home.
Wellā¦
I think I am!
