Les paroles de la chanson
« Back to school again »
The Temptations

Spending my vacation in the summer sun
Getting lots of action, having lots of fun
Scoring like a bandit ’til the bubble burst
Suddenly it got to be September 1st.

Woe is me, all summer long I was happy and free
Save my soul, the board of education took away my parole
I gotta go back, back, back to school again
You won’t find me ’til the clock strikes three
I’m gonna be there ’til then

I gotta go back, back, back to school again
Whoa, whoa, gotta go, back to school again.

Geometry and history is just a pain
Biology and chemistry destroys my brain
Well, don’t they know that I deserve a better fate
I’m really much too young to matriculate

Well, mama please, your child’s come down with a fatal disease
Mama says, come on you lazy bum and get your butt out of bed.

You gotta go back, back, back to school again
It’s bye bye fun, get your homework done
And better be in by ten

I gotta go back, back, back to school again
Whoa, whoa, gotta go, back to school again

I got my books together and dragged my feet
And then I saw this angel as I went down the street
I said, hey pretty baby, how’s about a date?
She said, I’m going to school and I can’t be late

Well, I could see the look in her eyes was saying follow me
And I was caught
I thought of playing hooky, but on second thought

I gotta go back, back, back to school again
You won’t find me until the clock strikes three
I’m gonna be there ’til then

I gotta go back, back, back to school again
Whoa, whoa, I gotta go
Back to school again
