An alarm sounds, to get you out of bed
Though you want to sleep more instead
Then you remember this is it the last day
And that sparks a change in your head

You get up you get dressed
Some put on their best
But you could honestly care less
If you looked like the rest because there soon
Shall be no more tests

Yes my friends, it's the last day of school
You've made your memories
You've shared your testimonies
And proved that in the end you rule

You get on a bus one last time
Or get in a car you've just bought
And take the last drive there
Maybe for the last time in your lifetime

You get to those double doors
The ones you walked through every day
Pushing other kids out of your way
Because you had to get to class
To finally finish the movie you were watching wasn't it episode 4 of star wars

An hour or so later a bell tolls
You and your friends go to the commons
To pull a last minute prank on those poor souls
Filling the whole school with toilet rolls

We exchange little memories
Which we keep in the treasuries
Of our hearts because truly
How can we forget this year's novelties

The principal gives his kids a final goodbye
And we begin to scream and cry
For some of those kids this is the last bye
They'll ever say so they say it with a bittersweet sigh

We stand together one last time
Like the spartan 300 at wartime
Like family in springtime
Preparing for what is to be the summertime

The last bell tolls and the fat lady sings
Her last song all the bittersweet joy it brings
Because despite all the big exams and things
We're still gonna miss this place
Though the door still swings

Bye bye old year, hello summertime
Until next year's gloom
Sunshine and rainbows
Until school once again takes our down time
Happy summer
