lyrics

Math
© 2008 Rich Mahan

When I was a boy I had a good time at school
Always teasing the girls, and acting the fool
Yeah clowning around was always my favorite thing
Well I just couldn’t wait to hear the school bell ring

One afternoon during Geometry
I got caught passing notes with little Susie McGhee
Teacher asked me to read it for the class
My reply really made a big splash
I was sent to the office when I said with a laugh
It was my understanding there would be no math

I sat down at the principal’s desk
He said I got an F on my attitude test
2 days detention when I said with a laugh
It was my understanding there would be no math

Me and some friends went out to dinner one night
We were laughing and drinking everything was all right
We must have been there for hours, cause we closed the place down
When they brought us the check it really brought the mood down
As we divided it up, I had to say with a laugh
It was my understanding there would be no math

I don’t claim to be a juggler but I am anyway
Seems I juggle more and more things everyday
How did I get so busy where does the time go?
I remember summer days going by so slow
I’ve got too much on my plate and its blocking my path
It was my understanding there would be no math

I could never do the job that the president does
Too many people always fouling your buzz
Does he ever turn to the First Lady and laugh
It was my understanding there would be no math
