Intro
Verse 1
When The Classroom’s Packed, And The Library’s Shut,
And Every Year There’s A Budget Cut,
And The Textbooks Only Keep On Gettin’ Dumber,
When Standards Seem To Be On The Skids,
And It Gets So Even The Kids Have Kids,
And Everyone Can Hardly Wait Till Summer
Chorus
Then We’re In Deep Doo Doo
Deep, Deep Doo Doo
What Can Folks Like Me And You Do
When The Doo Doo
Gets So Deep And Gettin’ Deeper
Interlude
Verse 2
When We Can’t Compete With The Japanese
Or The Portuguese Or The Chimpanzees
And Everybody Plays By Different Rules
It Ain’t A Question Of When Or Whether
Any Fool Can Put Two And Two Together
Unless They Took New Math At One Of Our Schools
Chorus
Then We’re In Deep Doo Doo
Deep, Deep Doo Doo
God Knows There's Plenty To Do
When The Doo Doo
Gets So Deep And Gettin’ Deeper
Interlude
Verse 3
When Some Schools Feel Like Combat Sectors
With Guns And Gangs And Metal Detectors
(Remember When We Felt Guilty Just Playin’ Hooky?)
When The School Is Broke, And Homework’s A Joke
And The Kids Do Grass And Booze Or Coke
We’ve Come A Long Way From Chocolate Milk And A Cookie
Chorus
And We’re In Deep Doo Doo
Deep, Deep Doo Doo
And It's Gonna Take More Than Voo Doo
When The Doo Doo
Gets So Deep And Gettin’ Deeper
Interlude
Verse 4
Well, People Keep Givin’ Me The Same Old Pitch:
“If You’re So Smart, Why Ain’t You Rich?”
I’ve Heard That All My Life, And I Know It By Heart
And To Tell The Truth, I Wish I Knew
But, America, I’m Askin’ You:
If You’re So Rich, Why Ain’t You Smart?
Chorus
Yes, We’re In Deep Doo Doo
Deep, Deep Doo Doo
So, Ask Yourself What Can You Do
When The Doo Doo
Gets So Deep
Outro
It’s Time To Look And Time To Leap
There’s Promises We Have To Keep
And As You Sow, So Shall You Reap
But Whatever It Takes, It Won’t Be Cheap
‘Cause The Doo Doo Is So Deep!
