Lyrics
Sleepy head, kid sister
Lying on the floor
18 years and younger, boy
Well, she knows what she's waiting for
Yuki's a cool school mistress
She's an oriental princess
She shows films in the classroom, boy
The put the paper on the windows
Ah, what can the sisters do?
Ah, girl's school
Head nurse is Sister Scala
Now she's a Spanish doll
She runs a full body out call massage parlor
From the teacher's hail
Ah, what can the sisters do?
Ah, girl's school
Well now, Roxanne's a woman trainer
She puts the Kids to bed
She gives them pills in a paper cup
And she knocks them on the head
Ah, what can the sisters do?
Ah, girl's school
Ah, what can the sisters do?
Ah, girl's school
She shows films in the classroom, boy
The put the paper on the windows, yeah
Ah, what can the sisters do?
Ah, girl's school
Ah, what can the sisters do?
Ah, girl's school
