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
