Can You?


Can you help me up,
If I fall from a thousand bleachers?
Can you help me get out of detention,
When I get chewed out by teachers?
Can you help me start,
My homework after its due?
Can you help me hide,
When I throw my principal’s shoe?

Can you help me from,
The humongous student mob?
Can you help me find,
Anything but a nasty student job?
Can you help me teach
My dog to eat my math book?
Can you help me try,
To find the answers I took?

Can you help me think,
Of an excuse to get out of all my classes?
Can you help me make,
About twenty phoney hall passes?
Can you help me stay,
Awake and try to pay attention?
Can you help me be,
Open with you when we’re both stuck in Detention?
