Spending my vacation in the summer sun Getting lots of action, having lots of fun Scoring like a bandit 'til the bubble burst Suddenly it got to be September 1st. 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 Whoa, whoa, 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 says, come on you lazy bum and get your butt out of bed. You gotta go back, back, back to school again It's bye bye fun, get your homework done And better be in by ten I gotta go back, back, back to school again Whoa, whoa, gotta go, back to school again I got my books together and dragged my feet And then I saw this angel as I went down the street I said, hey pretty baby, how's about a date? She said, I'm going to school and I can't be late Well, I could see the look in her eyes was saying 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 until the clock strikes three I'm gonna be there 'til then I gotta go back, back, back to school again Whoa, whoa, I gotta go Back to school again
