I get on up, out of bed
Then I start to scratch my head
I get a thought that's short and sweet
It's three words and one beat... I said
No School Today!
I don't need no shoes on my feet
I don't need to brush my teeth
Gonna stay in my pajamas all day
I'm gonna do it, my way... I said
No School Today!
I go outside and play all day
I won't do what my teachers say
I won't do work, I'm gonna play
I won't do work, no school today!
No School Today!
Sometimes I get a feeling
Like moving up and moving on, do you feel me?
'Cause for the first time I'm seeing clearly
The world is looking bright
Colors all outside the lines and it's all right
It's all right
I don't know where to draw the line
But I can draw any shape you like
I just need a separate pair of eyes
To make the moments all come to life
'Cause if we paint it together in Technicolor
We can make it right, we can make it, we can make it
Better together
In Technicolor
Oh yeah yeah yeah, Oh yeah yeah yeah, Oh yeah yeah yeah
I love when we're together
Whether I'm happy or sad you make it better
So come on, grab a brush, add your own special touch
Give it love, give it trust, yo've got more than enough
In you palette
Let's make some magic
I don't know where to draw the line
But I can draw any shape you like
I just need a separate pair of eyes
To make the moments all come to life
'Cause if we paint it together in Technicolor
We can make it right, we can make it, we can make it
Better together
In Technicolor
Oh yeah yeah yeah, Oh yeah yeah yeah, Oh yeah yeah yeah
