I`m not going to school

I`m not going to school today
I just want to stay in my bed
My tummy hurts and my feet are sore
And I`m getting a really sore head.

My nose is runny and I have a sore throat
And I think that I`m catching the cold
But my mum just doesn’t believe me
She says hurry and do as you’re told.

It`s my first day back since the holidays
And I’ve not had this teacher before
So I`ll say nothing fits and my shoes are too tight 
And I can’t even walk out the door.

My shirt is far to itchy 
And I can’t seem to do up my tie
And mum looks like she’s not going to help me
As she stands there and lets out a sigh.

But I’ve got hair like a grizzly bear
It sticks up all over the place
My ponytails loose and I’ve no time for braids 
And I can’t even tie my own lace.

I`m not going to school today
I have to sit next to the boys
They`re pushing and shoving and talking to much
And I can’t concentrate for the noise.

They chase us all at play time
And the boys all tug on my sleeve
We have to tell our teacher
To get them all to leave.

I`m not going to school today
I don’t like when we get gym
There’s far too much running and jumping
And I never get to win.

And then it`s Highland dancing
To the sound of a ceilidh band
We have to partner with the boys
And hold on to their hand.

They march us up then march us down
Then swing us round and round
The Gay Gordon’s and the Eight some reel
My feet don’t touch the ground.

I`m not going to school today
We never get to use the loo
We had to wait till playtime
And my face was turning blue.

My classrooms always too hot
And my face is always red
Don’t make me go to school today
Just let me stay in bed.

I`ll let you stay of school today
If you promise to go out and play
Because it`s not Monday like you thought it was
It`s Saturday today.
