I was mindin' my, mindin' my, mindin' my, mindin' my class
I was takin', I think I was acin' a science test
When a mischievous kid did a childish thing that sounded like some gas
It was funny until the teacher became distressed
I wanna know who did it, someone confess!
Someone's gonna do a little time
Just then, I got distracted, my hand said yes
Too late to explain it wasn't mine

You just got detention, right here after school
Maybe you will learn a little lesson and behave
No, I don't want detention, didn't break the rules!
Someone else is framing me, and I am not to blame

We went running 'round, running 'round, running 'round tryin' to find who set me up
It could only be, only be someone in class with me (oh)
Now I've got an in-, got an in-, got an investigation to conduct
It's the only way, only way, only way I'll be free

Please tell me where you were right before our class, yeah
You'd better have an airtight alibi
You seem a bit suspicious, guilty perhaps?
Ready to confess your little crime?

You just got detention, right here after school
Maybe you will learn a little lesson and behave (behave)
Yeah, I don't want detention, didn't break the rules!
Someone else is framing me, and I am not to blame (to blame)

Why did you do it? Why did you do it, huh?
Why did you do it? Why did you do it, huh?
I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it, nah
I didn’t do it, I didn’t do it, nah

I think I know who done it, the prime suspect
Now all I gotta do is find the proof

You just got detention, right here after school
Maybe you will learn a little lesson and behave
Yeah, I don't want detention, didn't break the rules!
Someone else is framing me, and I am not to blame (not to blame)

Why did you do it? Why did you do it, huh?
(Why did you do it, huh?)
Why did you do it? Why did you do it, huh?
Yeah, you just got detention, right here after school
Maybe you will learn a little lesson and behave
