Just a few minutes ago,
That teacher who's always watching us
Said, "Kids, only ten minutes until three o'clock."
Now I knew the bell was going to ring soon, but I don't
Like knowing this. I can't stop playing now! Kids
Start running, taking the front of the line, I prefer the back.
So I wait for the last recess' bell.
