The Lyrics

(Intro: Student 1 and Student 2)
I need to go to the bathroom
The class starts in a minute
Ughh
Let’s go
Hello, teacher

I’ll bring you an apple
And clean your whiteboard
Teacher, can I go to the bathroom?

I need to go to the bathroom
It’s an emergency

Why can’t I go?
Why can’t I go to the bathroom?

Why can’t I go to the bathroom?
Why can’t he go to the bathroom?
Teacher, I can’t wait
I need to go to the bathroom
It’s an emergency
Teacher, I can’t wait
I need to go to the bathroom
It’s an emergency
Why can’t I go?
Why can’t I go to the bathroom?
Leave it, leave it!
Why can’t I go?
Why can’t I go to the bathroom?
Leave it, leave it!
