Mother, Don't want to go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play

They keep calling asking me
Is that a sin
If being lazy is the only reason

It's getting late
So, mother don't you hesitate
To pack my lunch
And I'll be on my way to school

Mother, don't want to go to school today
I think I'd rather go outside and play

The teacher's always looking down
With her disappointed frown
Asking me to go sleep somewhere else

My levelheaded mother
Always said to one another
That the truth will always hurt
If you keep waiting
I said waiting
