Homework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!
I wish I could wash you away in the sink,
If only a bomb
Would explode you to bits.
Homework! Oh, homework!
You’re giving me fits. (You make me very angry.)
I’d rather take baths
With a man-eating shark,
Or wrestle (ringen mit) a lion
Alone in the dark,
Eat spinach and liver,
Pet ten porcupines (Stachelschwein),
Than tackle (anpacken) the homework,
My teacher assigns (aufgeben).
Homework! Oh, homework!
You’re last on my list,
I simple can’t see
Why you even exist,
If you just disappeared
It would tickle me pink. (I would be very happy.)
Homework! Oh, homework!
I hate you! You stink!
