Leaving home
I think I’ll leave home
‘cause just lately I’ve found
that with all that I do
I am never around.
There’s Drama on Mondays
from six until eight
and it’s not long to bed
when I get home so late.
On Tuesdays there’s tennis,
an hour long session
and Wednesdays are saved
for the Yamaha lesson.
Evenings on Thursdays
are always the same.
I train with my team
for the next footy game.
On Fridays it’s swimming,
I’m off to the pool
and for hours in between
I’m just sitting at school.
So, I’m hardly at home,
no, I’m never about.
I may as well pack up my things…
and move out!
