Out of bed grabbed my shoes off to work 
no time to lose 
last night I had fun 
but I'm the sleepy one today 
so its off to work how I hate to go 
but I just took off two days ago 
its such a lovely day 
how I'd like to stay away 
and do somethings I'd like to do

Skippin' work is on my mind 
they'll look for me 
oh I'll be hard to find 
my boss will be mad 
but I'll be oh so glad 
today maybe not tomorrow

There must be something that I can say 
a reason to take off today 
I know my boss thinks that I'm insane 
but today's too nice a day 
to let pass my way 
that's why

Skippin' work is on my mind 
they'll look for me and oh I'll be hard to find 
J-B and life is just a game we play 
skippin' work will bring me sorrow 
I, I could lose my job tomorrow, 
I'm skippin' work, 
I'm skippin' work, 
I'm skippin' work today
