spending my vacation in the summer sun
gettin’ lots of action havin’ lots of fun
scorin’ like a bandit ’til the bubble burst
suddenly it got to be september first
woe is me all summer long i was happy and free
save my soul the board of education took away my parole
i gotta go back back back to school again
you won’t find me ’til the clock strikes three
i’m gonna be there ’til then
i gotta go back back back to school again
woah woah i gotta go back to school again
geometry and history is just a pain
biology and chemistry destroys my brain
well don’t they know that i deserve a better fate
i’m really much too young to matriculate
well mama please your child’s come down with a fatal disease
mama said come on you lazy bum now get your butt out of bed
you gotta go back back back to school again
it’s byebye fun get your homework done
you better be in by ten
i gotta go back back back to school again
woah woah i gotta go back to school again
pause
i got my books together and i dragged my feet
then i saw this angel boppin’ down the street
i said hey pretty baby how about a date
she said i’m going to school and i can’t be late
well i can see that look in her eyes was sayin’ follow me
and i was caught
i thought of playing hooky but on second thought
i gotta go back back back to school again
you won’t find me ’til the clock strikes three
i’m gonna be there ’til then
i gotta go back back back to school again
woah woah i gotta go back to school
again
