'Nobody wants to add sums up'

Here we are in a maths classroom Verse 1
And we're adding up all the long equations
The sums are hard, you've lost the will to add
Like a torn old maths book
Here we sit (by the window) x2
Time to add. x2 Can't you see that:

Nobody wants to add sums up. no-one wants to multiply Chorus
My mind is longing for English, so bad it hurts inside
Maths is boring and it's frying my brain
And I've been hating it for all of my life
Nobody wants to add sums up
So (why) x2. Why don't you let me have English?

Can you add this sum? Can you take away? Verse 2
It's impossible so Mr Gresswell can work it out
And suddenly it all fits into place
Into her maths book, Oh Dom Hoad
Before I start (going crazy) x2
Add for me x2. Coz I'm tryin'

Chorus

I wanna (learn equations) x2
Just like the sums you're (dividing) x2
We need English in our lives
Don't give it up x3
Give it up (No, oh, oh, oh)

Nobody wants to add sums up
No-one wants to multiply

Chorus
