Текстове на песни: Barry Louis Polisar. Other. I'm Late.

You know I'm only late because I missed the school bus
And I lost my concentration when I tried to rush
My dog chewed my shoe then swallowed my sock;
Would've ridden my bike but it was locked

You know I'm only late because I had some eggs
When my little baby brother bit me on my leg
I fell off my chair and fell back on the floor
Hit my little bitty head on the dining room door

I'm only late because I had to take a shower
Then the lights went out and when I thought we lost the power
I just didn't know what I was supposed to do
So I went back to bed for an hour or two

I'm only late because I didn't get woken
My Mom was gonna drive me but the car was still broken
My cat ate my hat, then my dog ate my cat
I would've set the alarm clock but I couldn't find that

I'm only late cause I was sitting in bed
When I should been dressin' and gettin' fed
But by the time I left it was ten past ten
And that's why I'm late for school again

You know it's not my fault, now don't blame me
I'm not the kind of kid to shake responsibility
It should have been different -- that's a cryin shame
But I'm innocent and clearly not to blame
