I was six years oldhangin out in first grade
When the principal asked bout the friends I’d made
Girls instead of guyswere the pals I preferred
The school psychologist was to whom I was referred
Asked about male rolemodels and morals
And why with the boysI’d get into quarrels
Promised I’d make an effortto improve my behaviors
Administration saw themselvesas benevolent saviors
So I hung out with boysand became like the rest
And I never gave up til I was seen as the best
[Pullin me down Pullin me down Pullin me down
To the principal’s office I go.]
Second grade playgroundI’m dodgeball royalty
No one stood a chancebut I had no loyalty
When you know you’re the bestand others don’t compare
You teach them all daily that life just isn’t fair
And when you lost to meyou lost more than a game
For the more I said about it the more grew my fame
Sometimes the older kidswould chase me down in packs
I bore the full fury of fourth grader attacks
But when I blasted Rockman , a shot to the cranium
His brother’s fifth grade fistsfelt just like titanium
Pullin me down Pullin me down Pullin me down
To the principal’s office I go.
Fifth grade now,buddy Brett’s in a fix
Saying something stupid so I joined in the mix
Brett took Julius;Weldon was the other
Bloody and bruised but I had to help my brother
Fighting’s never rightbut your sight can be blinded
By a friend in need, indeed I’m reminded.
Later on we played tackle in the snow
Jovan was huge but came at me too slow
So I took his momentum in a massive body slam
And found myself stuckin another office jam
[Pullin me down Pullin me down Pullin me down
To the principal’s office I go.]
I painted Joe Camelfor 8th Grade art
Censored in the hallright from the start.
Sophomore year,a poster made for French
Recruit students witha propaganda drench.
It was a hot girl,spoke French, wore a gown.
Well, a short skirt. Anyhow, they took it down.
Senior year (oh dear)showin up late
First hour studyhalldid not equate
And I made funny messagesdisplayed on my car
Principal asked if I thoughtI was a rockstar
Pullin me down Pullin me down Pullin me down
To the principal’s office I go.
First year teaching used a dating magazine
So kids could explore a related English theme.
But there were some ads in the back kinda sleazy
Revenge on his teacher for a student was quite easy.
Fifth year teachingand all is going great;
New baby, nice students,but maybe it’s just fate
Student paper kindacrossed the borderline
Can’t keep clear of conflictand another landmine.
2009 was my web page and Thasso
That got the office posseto pull out the lasso
Pullin me down Pullin me down Pullin me down
To the principal’s office I go.
