Brownsville Station
1973


How you doin' out there? Y'ever seem to have one of those days
where 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 drag
Listening to the teacher rap / Just ain't my bag
The noon bells ring / You know that's my cue
I'm gonna meet the boys / On floor number two!

Smokin' in the boys' room
Smokin' in the boys' room
Now, teacher, don't you fill me up with your rules
But everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school.

A-checkin' out the halls / Makin' sure the coast is clear
Lookin' in the stalls / No, there ain't nobody here
Oh, my buddy Fang, and me and Paul
To get caught would surely be the death of us all

Smokin' in the boys' room
Smokin' in the boys' room
Now, teacher, don't you fill me up with your rules
But everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school.
All right!

Oh, put me to work / In the school book store
Check out counter / And I got bored
Teacher was lookin' / For me all around
Two hours later / You know where I was found

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

Smokin' in the boys' room
Oh, smokin' in the boys' room
Now, teacher, I am fully aware of the rules
But everybody knows that smokin' ain't allowed in school
