O Martelo

[Miss Trunchbull]
An exception
To the rules?
In my school?

My trophies there
Always shining
They gleam every morning
And how much did it cost me
To become a winner?
This great champion
It was by following the rules
That she reached the peak
I made no exception
I didn't ignore
No!
I didn't!

Did I follow my plan to the letter or improvise?
Huh? Huh?
Did I chalk my hands or hesitate?
No way!
I started to spin and looked at the sky
I diverted my attention and thought of the trophy
Did I step on the line or miss a turn?
Did I take a shortcut or use some trick?
The hammer broke, what did I do then?
I groaned as always, I made the reversal
I didn't change, I didn't swap
I followed every law
And no instruction was changed or adjusted
Not even when I threw the hammer
Flying in the sky as I planned
Did I relax the tension?
No, no, no, no
No, no, no, no

If you want to throw the hammer for real
You can't step out of line
Never again
To enter the selection
You don't have to have esteem or aptitude
Just need to look at the line and not step on it!
Sing children!
2, 3, 4!

[Miss Trunchbull]
Bambinatum est Vermacum

[Children and Miss Trunchbull]
You can't step out of line
Never again!

[Children]
Linea, Vermacum, Vermacum

[Miss Trunchbull]
And to teach how to triumph (ah)
Sympathy won't work (ah)

[Children]
Work!

[Miss Trunchbull]
The worms have to learn to respect
Sing Jenny!

[Miss Honey and Children]
If you want to throw the hammer for real

[Children]
Bambinatum est Vermacum

[Miss Honey and Children]
You can't step out of line
Never again!

[Children]
Linea, Vermacum, Vermacum
Circulum
God! God!
Glory!

[Miss Trunchbull]
My rule won't change
To throw the hammer or teach
Every life is a throw
Find the line and stay inside
And never change the rules
For anyone

Now get out!
