[Verse 1]
That good ol' morning sun,
Makes the birds crow at night,
So, you best be catching that bus,
And getting up too.
Living in Life Program,
Pass that sandwich, then give me some jam.
I ain't gone to school, but I think I'm going to,
Make it through.

[Chorus]
I'm just living in Central High School's State of mind.
Working all day like a crazy old teen,
Driving here right on time,
Hey, if we don't go on vacation tomorrow,
People oughta have a good time.
I'm just living in Central High School's State of mind.

[Verse 2]
I bet the principal's in his office,
He's watching me behave like a good ol' child does.
And, eating his lunch,
And drinking his coffee fine.
The teacher and their landlord,
Probably in the library,
Trying to get on board.
Me, I'm thinking about going home and working tonight.

[Chorus]
I'm just living in Central High School's State of mind.
Sleeping all day like a lazy leopard,
Living here, being on time.
And, if the school doesn't get cancelled tomorrow,
People oughta have a good time.
I'm just living in Central High School's State of mind.

[Verse 3]
You know the gentlemen and the ladies,
They're getting ready to start the clock.
They're going to cheer for the football game like I said.
In the end, they're out of here.
You gotta start learning if you want to move from here.
Like good ol' Mr. Darius Kamron Whitehead.

[Chorus]
Me, I'm living in Central High School's state of mind.
Eating all day like a fat old cat,
Going to school on time, costs a dime.
If we don't take a trip tomorrow,
People oughta have a good time.
I'm just living in Central High School's State of mind.

(I know what Jon's doing at home)

[Outro]
Have the motor run, the motor run,
Today...
Hey, hey.
