IM NOT GOING TO SCHOOL

I`m not going to school I`m not going to school today I just want to stay in my bed My tummy hurts and my feet are sore And I`m getting a really sore head. My nose is runny and I have a sore throat And I think that I`m catching the cold But my mum just doesn’t believe me She says hurry and do as you’re told. It`s my first day back since the holidays And I’ve not had this teacher before So I`ll say nothing fits and my shoes are too tight And I can’t even walk out the door. My shirt is far to itchy And I can’t seem to do up my tie And mum looks like she’s not going to help me As she stands there and lets out a sigh. But I’ve got hair like a grizzly bear It sticks up all over the place My ponytails loose and I’ve no time for braids And I can’t even tie my own lace. I`m not going to school today I have to sit next to the boys They`re pushing and shoving and talking to much And I can’t concentrate for the noise. They chase us all at play time And the boys all tug on my sleeve We have to tell our teacher To get them all to leave. I`m not going to school today I don’t like when we get gym There’s far too much running and jumping And I never get to win. And then it`s Highland dancing To the sound of a ceilidh band We have to partner with the boys And hold on to their hand. They march us up then march us down Then swing us round and round The Gay Gordon’s and the Eight some reel My feet don’t touch the ground. I`m not going to school today We never get to use the loo We had to wait till playtime And my face was turning blue. My classrooms always too hot And my face is always red Don’t make me go to school today Just let me stay in bed. I`ll let you stay of school today If you promise to go out and play Because it`s not Monday like you thought it was It`s Saturday today.
