I know a school that is really very cool
Monteagle, Monteagle
Where the teachers are great and the kids all relate
Monteagle, Monteagle
This is a school that wants to succeed
Everybody wants to write, everybody wants to read
I always get a smile from every child
Monteagle, Monteagle
I know a school that is really very cool
Monteagle, Monteagle
Where the good and the smart get Monty Marks
Monteagle, Monteagle
Poetry champions of Barking Borough
Everybody here is a poetry lover
It seems to me that they love poetry
Montealge, Monteagle
I've been through the rain and sun
Now it's the end of term and I don't want to go
I've felt their warmth
Like the warmth of the sun
And I really believe this school is the one
They welcome all guests and they are the very best
Monteagle, Monteagle
I know a school that is really very cool
Monteagle, Monteagle
