To the tune of “99 Bottles of Beer” – written after 20 years of our kids attending school – taking the last two out to start homeschooling! <3
9000 trips to school on my clock,
9000 trips to school
You take them down and turn around
9000 trips to school.
8999 trips to school on my clock,
8999 trips to school
You do the wash and pair the socks
8999 trips to school
8998 trips to school on my clock,
8998 trips to school
You hunt for socks and check for jocks
8998 trips to school
8997 trips to school on my clock,
8997 trips to school
You make their lunch and throw out the same bunch
8997 trips to school
8996 trips to school on my clock,
8996 trips to school
You race the clock, can’t find any socks
8996 trips to school
8995 trips to school on my clock,
8995 trips to school
The polony’s off it smells like socks
8995 trips to school
8994 trips to school on my clock,
8994 trips to school
The homeworks at home, you let out a groan
8994 trips to school

8993 trips to school
The reading book hardly got a look
8993 trips to school
8992 trips to school on my clock,
8992 trips to school
The squabbles with friends with no seeming end
8992 trips to school

8991 trips to school
The washing’s wet Oh Heck oh heck
8991 trips to school
8990 trips to school on my clock,
8990 trips to school
The microwave works – 4 minutes per shirt
8990 trips to school
8989 trips to school on my clock,
8989 trips to school
The socks are wet too, no time for these too
8989 trips to school
8988 trips to school on my clock,
8988 trips to school
The socks out the window a 100 K billow
8988 trips to school
8987 trips to school on my clock,
8987 trips to school
The frog in the drain, in the lunchbox he came
8987 trips to school
8986 trips to school on my clock,
8986 trips to school
The phone calls come “it’s about your son”
8986 trips to school
8985 trips to school on my clock,
8985 trips to school
The tears at night while you hear their plight
8985 trips to school
8984 trips to school on my clock,
8984 trips to school
She broke her arm, now just be calm
8984 trips to school
8983 trips to school on my clock,
8983 trips to school
We made it at last, it’s a thing of the past (DV)
8983 trips to school.
You get the idea.
