Recess Lyrics by Eli “Paperboy” Reed

The Way Way Back (Music From the Motion Picture)

0

I remember sitting in class
Waiting for the bell to ring
'Cause on the playground, that's where I was king
I jumped up real quick
I got to be the first in line
'Cause the sun is out
And you know I'm feelin' fine
When the bell will ring
We all gon' sing
Nobody better be on
My favorite swing
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Some people think
You've got to leave it all behind
That time is money
And money is time
But is it really worth it
Day after day?
When you know in a minute
That you'd throw it all away
Oh, when you hear that bell
Only time will tell
We all gon' raise
Our voices and yell
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Go to school, do your work
Grow up and get a job
Do everything you're told to do
Be part of the whole mob
I don't really wanna work
I just wanna play
So you all better feel like me
Let me hear you say
Yeah, recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
It's recess
