When I wake up in the morning 

And the 'larm gives out a warning 

I don't think I'll ever make it on time 

By the time I grab my books, 

And I give myself a look, 

I'm at the corner just in time to see the bus fly by 

It's alright 'cuz I'm saved by the bell 

If the teacher pops a test, 

I know I'm in a mess,

And my dog ate all my homework last night,

Ridin' low in my chair, 

She won't know that I'm there, 

If I can hand it in tomorrow, it'll be all right! 

It's alright, 'cuz I'm saved by the bell (4x)
