Lyrics
(Ooh)
(Ooh, la, la, la-la)
Out of bed, grabbed my shoes (ooh)
Off to work, no time to lose (ooh)
Last night I had fun, but I'm a sleepy one today (hey)
So it's off to work (ooh)
I hate to go (how I hate to go) (ooh)
But I just took off two days ago (ooh)
Oh, it's such a lovely day (ooh)
How I'd like to stay (how I hate to go)
Away and do some things I'd like to do (ooh)
Skippin' work (skippin' work)
Is on my mind (on my, on my mind)
They'll look for me, oh, but I'll be hard to find
My boss will be mad, but I'll be oh, so glad (ooh)
Today, maybe not tomorrow (ooh)
There must be something I can say
A reason to take off today
I know my boss thinks that I'm insane
But it's too nice a day (to tax my brain)
(That's why)
Skippin' work (skippin' work)
Is on my mind (on my, on my mind)
They'll look for me oh, but I'll be hard to find
Oh, JB feels the same
Life is just a game we play
Skippin' work can bring me sorrow
I could, I could lose my job tomorrow
But I'm skippin' work (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm, I'm skippin' work (ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
I'm skippin' work today, yeah, yeah
(La-la-la-la, la-la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la, la-la-la-la-la)
(La-la, la-la-la-la) skippin' work today
(La-la, la-la-la-la) skippin' work today
(La-la, la-la-la-la) skippin' work today
(La-la, la-la-la-la) skippin' work today
(La-la, la-la-la-la) skippin' work today
(La-la, la-la-la-la) skippin' work today
