Playin' Hooky

I'm playin' hooky, I'm playin' hooky

I can't walk cool when I got books underneath my arm

I'm playin' hooky, I'm playin' hooky

And I'm afraid I will be failing to be hearing the alarm

I refuse to go to school, think I'll play a little pool

And I will pass on the curriculum today

I apologize to educational supplies

Statistics just keep getting in my way

How will they teach me how to learn I don't want to be no attorney

Or receive a credential just like Raymond

I'm playin' hooky, I'm playin' hooky

I can't walk cool when I got books underneath my arm

Playin' hooky, I'm playin' hooky

And I'm afraid I would be failing to be hearing the alarm

Maximum security is some peculiarity

My educationality has brought me to a conclusion

Institutionality that tries to blow the malady

Can never seem to go to the release

So can you blame me if I'm tempted

And the chug down is pre-empted

Playin' hooky, I'm playin' hooky

I can't walk cool when I got books underneath my arm

I'm playin' hooky, I'm playin' hooky

And I'm afraid I would be failing to be hearing the alarm

Counselors said I'm maladjusted and I never can be trusted

Irreconcilable differences cause problems with the faculty

Conflicting interests in the area

But I should intend to be considering vocationally

I must be dealt with very gently and I might say incidentally

Playin' hooky, I'm playin' hooky

Can't walk cool when I got books underneath my arm

I'm playin' hooky, I'm playin' hooky

And I'm afraid I would be failing to be hearing the alarm

About this [?] called detention, with the captives aforementioned

Assuming the dilemma's to rile the guard

Here's a memo to communicate or maybe you should demonstrate

Instead of just divulging information in regard

Beyond the shadow of a doubt, you can trample yourself out

Playin' hooky, playin' hooky

I can't walk cool when I got books underneath my arm

I'm playin' hooky, I'm playin' hooky

And I'm afraid I would be failing to be hearing the alarm
