The Homework Blues
By Cathy Block

I?ve got the Homework Blues
Everytime teacher gives me some
I?ve got them Homework Blues
Everytime teacher gives me some
I tell ya mama a kid?s work ain?t never done

This homework thing never seems to end
I miss all the good shows on Nickelodeon
And my favorite RugRats episode is on again

My fingers get so tired and bruised
Holding those pencils so long is child abuse
I asked my dog to eat my homework
But he refused

Can?t go out to play
I gotta stay in
This is the child?s burden
Don?t ya think it?s a sin?

I?ve got the Homework Blues
Everytime teacher gives me some
I tell ya mamma a kid?s work ain?t never done

You know my bookbag, it must weigh a ton
Those books keep coming without regard or consideration
I feel osteoporosis settin? in, and Lord I?m so young

I?ve got the Homework Blues
Everytime teacher gives me some
I tell ya mamma a kid?s work ain?t never done

How much math and spellin? can one kid take?
Ain?t seen my gameboy or Pokemon cards all day
Rock a bye mamma, this bows about to break

Now I might be picked up, I might be school bused home
But when that buzzer rings
It?s adios amigo

I?ve got the Homework Blues
Everytime teacher gives me some
I tell ya mamma a kid?s work ain?t never done
