Lyrics
Spending my vacation in the summer sun
Gettin' lots of action and a 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
Whoa, whoa, 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 bye-bye fun, get your homework done
You better be in by ten
I gotta go back, back, back to school again
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go… back to school again!
I got my books together and I dragged my feet
Then I saw this angel boppin' down the street
I said, «Hey, pretty baby, howsabout 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
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go… back to school … again!!!
