I've had my breakfast, it's time to go
We mustn't be late, the teacher told me so
Come on Mom, I've been ready for years
I'm grown up big, I'm happy to go
So how come I see tears?
When I go to school
I'll meet lots of kids and we'll play with each other
When I go to school
I'll learn about numbers and letters and colors
I will learn how to raise my hand
I will listen and understand
It'll really be cool
When I go to school
And I will read books
And learn to take my turn
And I will sing songs
I'll hang my coat where it belongs
I'll play on the swing
I'm gonna learn everything
I'll follow the rules, when I go to school
When I go to school
I'll make lots of things, and bring home lots of papers
When I go to school
I'll have crayons and scissors and pencils and glue and string and erasers
I'll paint pictures and I'll bring them home
You can hang them up there by the phone
It'll really be cool, when I go to school
And I will read books
And learn to take my turn
And I will sing songs
I'll hang my coat where it belongs
I'll play on the swing
I'm gonna learn everything
I'll follow the rules, when I go to school
When I go to school
You'll have to learn to cross the streets all alone
(Cause I'll be at School)
When I go to school
Give the baby the clothes I've outgrown
And sometimes I'll get to share
And I'll tell 'em how much you care
For me
And I'll play on the swing
I'm gonna learn everything
But I won't stay the same
I can write my name
It'll really be cool
(I'll be really cool)
When I go to school
