When I was a little boy My mother tried to send me to school I didn't want to go 'cause I wasn't no nobody's fool I got schooldays schooldays on my mind Says it's way too late now Always standing around crying Well I went down to the judge To try to explain When he gave me a pencil, I couldn't even sign my name. I got schooldays schooldays on my mind Way too late now always standing around crying Every evening About half past three I see the school kids, that even worries me. I got schooldays schooldays on my mind Says I'm way too late now Alwyas standing around crying
