School again

There is no time to play!
It’s school again!
Let’s count to ten!
Oh yeah, it’s a good day!

It’s time to start,
We all look smart,
New uniform, blazer and shirt,
Trousers, shorts and tie or skirt!

New equipment,
It’s so pleasant!
My new backpack
Is on my back!

New pencils, books and glue,
And a brand new hairdo!
Hello new friends,
The summer ends!

And I can say,
I’m happy today,
‘Cause back to school
Is really cool!

School again

There is no time to play!
It's school again!
Let's count to ten!
Oh no, it's a bad day!

Shopping for school
Is not so cool!
It's time to cry,
I hate my tie!

Goodbye trainers,
Hello blazers,
My school emblem is horrible,
And I don't like my timetable!

My new backpack
Is heavy on my back,
I hate homework,
I hate teamwork!

So I can say,
I'm sad today,
'Cause back to school
Is really cruel!
