Attention
Attention!
You Asked Me "How Was School Today?"
And If I Really Thought You Cared,
I'd Tell You How My Day Had Been,
And How I Had Really Fared.
You Think I'm Such a Baby,
But I'm Not a Little Tyke.
Why, I Was Very, Very Young,
When I Learned to Ride a Bike.
I Have a Lot of Important Things
Of Which I'd like to Say.
But When I Try to Say Them,
You Say, "Go out and Play."
I Always Stay in Trouble.
Well, No One Thinks about That,
Just Because I Stick My Tongue Out,
At the Teachers Back.
I Need Lots of Attention.
And I'm Smart Enough to Know,
If I Can't get it for Being Good,
The Bad in Me Will Grow.
