I Stayed Home From School Today
I"m staying home from school today
I'd rather be in bed
pretending that I have a pain
that's pounding in my head.
I'll say I have a stomach ache
I'll claim I have the flu
I'll shiver like I'm cold
and hold my breath until I'm blue.
I'll fake a cough. I'll fake a sneeze.
I'll say my throat is sore
If necessary I can throw
a tantrum on the floor
I'm sure I'll get away with it
Of that, there's little doubt
But, even so, I really hope
my students don't find out
