We Didn’t Do Our Homework
Bit off my tongue when I was three, hated the sun and the beach
Really liked the colour pink, tried to swim, I did sink
Got a phone when I was six, rubbed it in just for kicks
Childhood friends did not stay, they all planned to move away
Was a loner for several years, Naelle
Pulled into fandom, left and right, my answers were never right
Jaimie, Shi-Lin, Noelle, Evelyn, Ben, April
Contemplated suicide, realised I couldn’t, don’t know why
We didn’t do our homework
We were way too busy and far too lazy
We didn’t do our homework
No, we didn’t do it, now we’re paying for it
Kindergarten, Kaylee Gunn, Friends Forever, piano starts
Teletubbies, Power Rangers, High School Musical
Boil in my throat, operation, turned really blue right in the face
I start violin, Enid Blyton, brother won Sports Day
Hermione Granger, Dumbledore, Voldemort
Hong Kong best in subjects, Wizards of Waverley Place
Competitions, Nobel, bro goes to USA
Percy Jackson, Annabeth Chase, Rick Riorda, anime
We didn’t do our homework
We were way too busy and far too lazy
We didn’t do our homework
No, we didn’t do it, now we’re paying for it
Harry Potter, Dr Strange, Insidious, Conjuring
Teletubbies, Totally Spies, Totoro, Dora
Wendy Darling, Winnie-the-Pooh, Finding Nemo, Tom and Jerry
School is starting, lots of exams, goodbye Paradise
We didn’t do our homework
We were way too busy and far too lazy
We didn’t do our homework
No, we didn’t do it, now we’re paying for it
