Pencils and paper scattered all around
Math problems and spelling making me frown
Mom stands firm with a knowing gaze
"Finish your homework or no going out today"
I don't like it but Mom says do it anyway
Finish your homework or you don't get to play
Books and worksheets they're not much fun
But I gotta finish before they pile up a ton
Friends calling my name outside in the sun
I'd rather be with them having some fun
Mom's voice is clear no room for sway
"Finish your homework or no going out today"
I don't like it but Mom says do it anyway
Finish your homework or you don't get to play
Books and worksheets they're not much fun
But I gotta finish before they pile up a ton
I dream of games and riding my bike
But here I sit with all these dislikes
Mom says with love "It's good for you"
I sigh and write what else can I do?
I solve the problems every last one
Mom gives a smile says "Now you're done!"
Outside I run ready to play
Homework's done it's playtime hooray
I don't like it but Mom says do it anyway
Finish your homework or you don't get to play
Books and worksheets they're not much fun
But I gotta finish before they pile up a ton
So if you're stuck with homework at the table
Remember this song and you'll be able
Finish your homework and then you'll see
Fun and games outside as it should be
