You Can't Go

There's a roller coaster at the county fair
 And a Ferris wheel high up in the air
 We're gonna grip the Gripper and zip the Zipper
 The neon lights will glow
 All our friends are gonna be there, but you can't go
 You didn't do your homework. You didn't feed the dog
 You didn't take the garbage out and now that's your job
 Your daddy tried to warn you and your mamma told you so
 But you didn't listen to what they said so now you can't go
 It's a pizza party birthday, Kevin's turning ten
 We're gonna have some fun and do it all again
 Plates of ice cream and chocolate cake, filled to overflow
 And all our friends are gonna be there, but you can't go
 You didn't do your homework and you didn't feed the dog
 You didn't take the garbage out and now that's your job
 Your daddy tried to warn you and your mamma told you so
 But you didn't listen to what they said so now you can't go
 You were busy watching television, busy doing nothing
 And now there's finally something good to do
 But you'll still be doing nothing
 while all your friends are having fun
 And I know I should stay home with you so you're not the only one
 But you didn't do your homework and you didn't feed the dog
 You didn't take the garbage out. It's not my job
 Your daddy tried to warn you and your mamma told you so
 Well, I did everything that I had to do, so I'm gonna go
 No, you didn't do what you had to do so you can't go
 If you can't do the time, buddy, don't do the crime
 You can't go. I'm gone
