That’s Just What Passes for Fun Around Here

Monday we were in the park
Stayed there until nearly dark
I showed the gang my kung-fu skills
(Reckon I gave them all the chills)
And I promise you now I ain’t taken no classes –
That’s just what passes for fun around here

Music lesson Tuesday morn’
Teacher hands me a French horn
Says, Show me what you can do
So I play him something cool and new
And I’m telling you now I know ZILCH about brasses –
That’s just what passes for fun around here

School on Wednesday at first break
A final shot I HAD to make
The scores were tied at 7-all
Then past Jack Jones I slammed the ball
And I swear I was not even wearing my glasses –
That’s just what passes for fun around here

Lunch on Thursday’s always bad
A tuna sandwich made by dad
So I put the word out on the streets
Then exchanged with Kai for a pack of sweets
And I’m sure you’re aware I don’t care what my pa says –
That’s just what passes for fun around here

Friday evening at the shop
When I just want to game then flop
A deal on teabags draws mum’s sight
So I slyly swap brown bread for white
And mind you don’t tell ‘cause we don’t like no grasses –
That’s just what passes for fun around here
