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
