The Four Tops — Back To School Again

[Verse 1] Spending my vacation in the summer sun Gettin' lots of action, havin' lots of fun Scorin' like a bandit 'til the bubble burst Suddenly it got to be September First [Chorus] 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 Woah, woah, I gotta go back to school again [Verse 2] 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 Woah, woah, I gotta go back to school again [Instrumental Pause] [Bridge] I got my books together and I dragged my feet Then I saw this angel boppin' down the street I said, "Hey, pretty baby, how about a date?" She said, "I'm going to school, and I can't be late" [Chorus] 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 Woah, woah, I gotta go back to school Again
