Don’t You Send Me for Detention
A parody of “Don’t Cry for Me Argentina”

It won't be easy, you'll think it strange
When I try to explain how I feel
That I still need your love after all I've not done
You won't believe me
All you will see is the math assignment
And ask me aloud why it’s blank
At sixes and sevens with me

I had no time to do it, I had to sleep
Couldn't spend all my life doing work
Looking out of the window, avoiding parties
So I chose freedom
Running around, trying everything new
But I wrote nothing on the sheet
I never even looked at it

Don’t you send me for detention
The truth is I will go finish it
All through my school days
My mad existence
I’ll keep my promise
Don’t call my parents

And as for History, and as for Geog
I never thought even of them
Though it seems to me now I left them on my desk
They are still undone
They’re not even filled in part-way at all
The answer was far far too long
I love you and hope you love me

Don’t you send me for detention
The truth is I will go finish it
All through my school days
My mad existence
I’ll keep my promise
Don’t call my parents

Have I said too much?
There's nothing more I can think of to say to you
But all you have to do is look at me
To know that every word is true

Don’t you send me for detention
