[Verse 1] Hear the bells ring Red lights blinking, buses in a line Breakfast in a rush Toast in your hand, shoelaces intertwined Books gathered in your arms Half a smile, half a yawn on your face Shoes on the wrong feet Still you’re racing, trying to keep your place [Chorus] Time for school, time for school Out the door, you’re flying like a fool (hey) First seat, rear of the bus, either way Have a great day, have a great day But you can’t wait, you can’t wait You can’t wait until recess [Verse 2] Kids lining up at the bus stop Trading stories, little secrets in the air You’re laughing through your jacket Hair all crooked, but you just don’t care Climb those yellow stairs Will you sit by the driver, or way in the back Window fog and finger hearts Counting clouds, tracing the cracks [Chorus] Time for school, time for school Out the door, you’re flying like a fool (oh yeah) First seat, rear of the bus, either way Have a great day, have a great day But you can’t wait, you can’t wait You can’t wait until recess [Bridge] Spelling tests, quiet desks You tap your toes, you’re dreaming through the glass Hands on the clock Move so slow, you whisper, “hurry up, hurry past” [Chorus] Time for school, time for school Out the door, you’re flying like a fool First seat, rear of the bus, either way Have a great day, have a great day But you can’t wait, you can’t wait You can’t wait until recess You can’t wait, you can’t wait You can’t wait until recess
