"sure hope maman an' pappa don' groun' me t'day,"
said the sad little boy who just wanted to play,
"i try to be good, den somet'in' comes over me,
"i give into de urge, cain't help m'self, you see,
"i'm ever so tired of stayin' in de house,
"just because i scared maman wit' dat harmless mouse,
"just because teacher say i'd misbehaved in class,
"just 'cause i repeated pappa's words 'you dumb ass,'"
"just because i th'owed dat spider on my sis,
"just 'cause i step on fluffy's tail, makin' her hiss,
"just because i broked my pappa's new computer,
"just 'cause i runned over de cat wit' my scooter,
"just because i broked the window (for de t'ird time),
"just 'cause i stoled daddy's change, all nickles an' dimes,
"just because i put fluffy in de microwave,
"just 'cause i clumbed on de roof, i t'ought dat was brave,
"just because dere's paint all over de bedroom walls,
"just 'cause down de toilet i try to flush a ball,
"just because i got lost, walkin' out in de fog,
"just 'cause i got bit, i kicked dat mean neighbor's dog,
"just because i th'ew up during supper dat nigh',
"just 'cause i scared my sis, i gave her such a frigh',
"if i don' behave, i'll never get outta here,
"i'll be grounded forever...'til my senior years!"
