"Till We're Back to Summer Fun"

Back to School Song

Can anybody tell me why summertime can't linger,
June, July, and August drift away.
'Fore you know it, It's September
And that school bell's a ringin'
Say my schedule and it's time to pray!

Refrain: My bus is late gotta run,
Backpack weighs a 'bout a ton,
And my homework's not half done.
Who can remember if the day's odd or even?
Let's get back to the summer fun!

Just two minutes till advisor
And I'm sitting by my locker,
Books all scattered out in front of me.
Mr. Walker's struttin' toward me calling "What are you doing?!"
"You'll never make it up to Lyle 3!

Refrain: My bus is late gotta run,
Backpack weighs a 'bout a ton,
And my homework's not half done.
Who can remember if the day's odd or even?
Let's get back to the summer fun!

All morning stomach's grumbling because I didn't eat my breakfast,
And I'm really runnin' out of steam.
I cannot wait for lunchtime
So it's back to advisor
For a two-day-old Krispy Kreme!

Refrain: My bus is late gotta run,
Backpack weighs 'bout a ton,
And my homework's not half done.
Who can remember if the day's odd or even?
Let's get back to the summer fun!
Hey, man--summer fun!

Sixth period rolls 'round and I find myself daydreamin'
Ocean waves are breaking on the beach.
I'm a driftin' back to summer when the chalk starts a flyin'
Mr. Waller's snappin' "How can I teach"

Refrain: My bus is late gotta run,
Backpack weighs 'bout a ton,
And my homework's not half done.
Who can remember if the day's odd or even?
Let's get back to the summer fun!
Now if we all wish as one
For precipitation
It just might snow a ton
We'll have a day off or two,
And that'll just have to do
Till we're back to summer fun!
