Four Tops - Back To School Again lyrics

rate me

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!!!
