School dinners, school dinners,
Irish spew; Irish spew;
Sloppy semolina, sloppy semolina,
I feel sick -toilet quick!

(Alternative last line: 'No thank you! no thank you!')

Another relevant playground song, known to virtually all schoolchildren in the UK for generations, is:

Nobody loves me, everybody hates me.
Going in the garden to eat worms.
Big fat juicy ones, little skinny wriggly ones.
Going in the garden to eat worms!

(I think I prefer not to know what that tells one about the typical state of the UK psyche!)
