Recess Lyrics – Eli Paperboy Reed

Recess Text

---

I remember sitting in class
Waiting for the bell to ring,
'Cause on the playground
That's where I was king.

I jumped up real quick,
I got to be the first in line,
'Cause the sun is out
And you know I'm feeling fine.

When the bell will ring
We all gon' sing.
Nobody better be on
My favorite swing.

[x3]
It's recess,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

It's recess.

Some people think
You got to leave it all behind.
That time is money,
And money is time.

But is it really worth it,
Day after day?
When you know in a minute,
That you would throw it all away.

Oh when you hear that bell
Only time will tell,
We all gon' raise our voices and yell.

[x3]
It's recess,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

It's recess,
Ohhhhhh.

Go to school,
Do your work,
Grow up and get a job.
Do everything you're told to do,
Be part of the whole xxx.
I don't really want to work,
I just want to play.
So you all better feel like me
Let me hear you say.

[x12]
It's recess,
Yeah yeah yeah yeah.

It's recess.
