How you doin' out there? Y'ever seem to have one of those daysWhere it just seems like everybody's gettin' on your case?From your teacher all the way down to your best girlfriend?Well, y'know, I used to have 'em just about all the time.But I found a way to get out of 'em. Let me tell you about it!

Sitting in the classroom, thinking it's a dragListening to the teacher rap just ain't my bagThe noon bells ring, you know that's my cueI'm gonna meet the boys On floor number two!

Smokin' in the boys' roomSmokin' in the boys' roomNow, teacher, don't you fill me up with your rulesBut everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school.

A-checkin' out the hallsMakin' sure the coast is clearLookin' in the stalls No, there ain't nobody hereOh, my buddy Fang, and me and PaulTo get caught would surely be the death of us all

Smokin' in the boys' roomSmokin' in the boys' roomNow, teacher, don't you fill me up with your rulesBut everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school.

All right!Oh, put me to work in the school book storeCheck out counter and I got boredTeacher was lookin' For me all aroundTwo hours later, you know where I was found

Smokin' in the boys' room (Yes indeed, I was)Smokin' in the boys' roomNow, teacher, don't you fill me up with your rulesBut everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school. One mo'!

Smokin' in the boys' roomOh, smokin' in the boys' roomNow, teacher, I am fully aware of the rulesBut everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school!
