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!!!
