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?
