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!!!
