Let me take you to the scene of the crime
Show you where it all began
I'd just finished a twenty page project
All about Japan
I left it on the table when I went to bed
In the morning I could not believe my eyes
It was all over the floor
You might just say, it was kind of bite-sized
Chorus:
Don't you know that my doggy ate my homework
You know that it's true
My doggy ate my homework
That old rascal Clue
I've been working on this for a month or more
I finally got it right
Why didn't somebody feed that dog last night?
The teacher said "Cla**, bring up your work
You know today it's due."
I said "Teacher, oh dear teacher
Can I talk to you?"
She said "I do not want to hear your excuses
Like so many times before
If you don't have this finished
You can go and see the principal's door!"
Chorus
Why doesn't no one believe me?
Well they won't hear a word that I say
Why doesn't no one believe me?
Oh now don't let that dog get away!
Look at her, just licking her lips!
I know she did it, and she knows she did it
And I know that she knows that I know she did it
Well, I'm gonna get that Clue someday
She said, "I do not want to hear your excuses
Like so many times before
If you don't have this finished
You can go and see the principal's door!"
Chorus
Why didn't somebody go and feed that crazy dog last night?
