Don't Need No Skoolin'

Don't Need No Skoolin'

i don't need no skoolin'

i no all I need to no

i no bout huntin' and fishin'

lovin' and fightin'

and no how to catch and throw

what goods Geography

i can find my way 'round

and those people cross the ocean

they want me they can find me

right here in my home town

history's the same waste of time

who cares 'bout that cromwell dude

and noin who won that north south brawl

or even the one they call WW2

aint gonna buy me no food

the only good things 'bout school rite now

are Mary Ellen White and that ending bell

well the food in the caf is pretty good

and the time in phys ed is a blast

but the rest of the place can go to . . .

well you know, that bad place

I aint suppose to swear

i don't need no skoolin'

i no all I need to no

i no bout huntin' and fishin'

lovin' and fightin'

and no how to catch and throw

what goods Geography

i can find my way 'round

and those people cross the ocean

they want me they can find me

right here in my home town

history's the same waste of time

who cares 'bout that cromwell dude

and noin who won that north south brawl

or even the one they call WW2

aint gonna buy me no food

the only good things 'bout school rite now

are Mary Ellen White and that ending bell

well the food in the caf is pretty good

and the time in phys ed is a blast

but the rest of the place can go to . . .

well you know, that bad place

I aint suppose to swear
