[Verse 1]
Out of bed, grabbed my shoes
Off to work, no time to lose
Last night I had fun, but I'm a sleepy one today
So it's off to work
How I hate to go (How I hate to go)
But I just took off two days ago
Oh, it's such a lovely day
How I'd like to stay
(How I hate to go) Away and do some things I'd like to do

[Chorus]
Skippin' work is on my mind (Skippin' work)
Is on my mind (On my, on my mind)
They'll look for me, oh I'll be hard to find
My boss will be mad but I'll be oh so glad
Today, maybe not tomorrow

[Bridge]
There must be something that I can say
A reason to take off today
I know my boss thinks that I'm insane
But today's too nice a day to let pass my way (To tax my brain)

[Chorus]
(That's why)
Skippin' work is on my mind (Skippin' work)
Is on my mind (On my, on my mind)
They'll look for me and, oh I'll be hard to find
[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
But I'm skippin' work
I'm, I'm skippin' work
I'm skippin' work today, yeah

[Instrumental break]
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
