You'veheard many excuses
About why my homework wasn't done
Like when I said mygoldfish ate it
When I was really just having fun
But this time I will behonest
This time it is true
I wanted to do my homework
But my parentssaid not to
They told me to drop the book
And pick up the remote
They'drather have me watch TV
Than learn a famous quote
Their best friends areChandler, Joey,
Phoebe, Rachel, Monica and Ross
They don't care who thefirst president was
They care about "Who's the Boss"
I told themthat I had to answer
The questions by today
But they gave me their ownquestion:
"Who's Line is it Anyway?"
Their idea of math ismeasuring
How much beer's in their cup
They think Thomas Jefferson
Wasthe one who moved on up
What I just said is the truth
Not one word's alie
And if you believed that story
Then you are the weakestlink
Good-bye
