Book Report

Just before our recess time

Becky Lane tapped me from behind

And slipped this little note in my hand

Next thing I hear is that call

Young man, meet me out in the hall

And now I've got to write this book report

It's never bothered me more than a touch

To get kicked out in the hall this much

Usually there's somebody else out here from some other class

We'll slide down the hall to the kitchen

And see what type of cookie they're fixin'

Buti what am I gonna do

About this damn book report?

I'd rather give Amy Banks a look

Than read what someone says pretty is in some book

That library's so quiet, you'd think the librarian died

I imagine she'd probably get shook

If I used comics instead of a book

Oh, what am I gonna do

About this damn book report?

Maybe I'll build me a time machine

To take me back to the Pleistocene

If other kids wanna come, I'm sure we could build more

We' l watch as each century passes

I hope I remember my glasses

I'd sure hate to have to squint

At a dinosaur

Maybe then I'll play like a wild west Tex

And I'll lasso a Tyrannosaurs Rex

And bring him back in my time machine to class

Well he'd have to get his jaws pretty wide

But maybe he'd eat Miss MacBride

Then I wouldn't have to write

This book report

Just before our recess time

Becky Lane tapped me from behind

And slipped this little note in my hand...
