Woke up this morning and got outa bed.   Jumped in the shower and washed my head   Put on my clothes and made up my bed   Crammed down my breakfast left my spelling unread   Hopped on the bus, headed straight to the back   Got in trouble and tore my back pack      Sent to the office like I was to blame   Given detention, man that's really lame   Smiled at the teacher like nothing was wrong   Sat at my desk and started writing this song   Whoah the recess blues      (chorus)   Recess, recess, that's what I'd rather do   Reading, spelling, don't have a clue   Recess, recess, that's what I'd rather do   It's all enough to make a kid really blue      Ya, ya, ya, ya.......      Bell rang out telling us it was lunch   Got into a food fight with my favorite bunch   Back to the office for a lecture or two   Principal said, more detention for you   Passed my older brother in the halls today   All he said was get out of my way      Told all his friends that I was so dumb   cause I had failed Nap Time 101   My parents put me in extended day   So I could get my energy out of the way   Whoah the recess blues      (chorus)   Recess, recess, that's what I'd rather do   Reading, spelling, don't have a clue   Recess, recess, that's what I'd rather do   It's all enough to make a kid really blue      Ya, ya, ya, ya.......      Played some games and sang a few songs   Before the school bus came rolling along   My Mom asked me how was my day   I got into trouble so what could I say   Thought for a minute then made up a lie   If they take my recess I’m gonna die      (chorus)   Recess, recess, that's what I'd rather do   Reading, spelling, don't have a clue   Recess, recess, that's what I'd rather do   It's all enough to make a kid really blue
