[Verse 1] Olivia’s got coffee Half cold in her hand Charlotte’s got glitter Everywhere it can land Sophie’s got her socks On the wrong little feet They’re ten minutes late For the third time this week [Pre-Chorus] She turns the key Says “C’mon Let’s roll” The engine coughs like it caught a cold One loud clunk Then a grumpy groan And the car just sighs “you’re on your own” [Chorus] So she’s backing up to school All the way down Maple Lane Hazards on Radio loud Trying not to go insane Kids waving like a parade In a very slow reverse Backing up to school (yeah) Mondays can’t get worse [Verse 2] Neighbor walks the poodle Staring like a meme Olivia yells “I’m fine! This is just…my new routine” Sophie’s yelling “Faster!” Charlotte’s filming for the ‘Gram If this goes viral She’ll pretend it was the plan [Pre-Chorus] She passes by the principal’s car Going backwards like a budget star Gives a thumbs up Through the window glass “Is reverse-commute An approved hall pass?” [Chorus] She’s backing up to school Past the stop-and-drop brigade Minivan moms doing double takes As if this is a parade Kids chanting “Beep Beep Beep!” Making sound effects in bursts Backing up to school (oh) Mondays hit their worst [Bridge] Parking lot guards just freeze Whistles halfway to their lips She nails that backwards parking space In three miraculous little zips Charlotte says “We’re legends” Sophie says “That was sick” Olivia bows from the driver’s seat “Next time we’re walking That’s less…cinematic” [Chorus] Backing up to school One heroic Clumsy ride From the driveway to the drop-off lane Doing everything backwards with pride Bell is ringing as they jump Out the door headfirst Backing up to school (hey) Somehow that just worked
