Mom scrubbed my face
And brushed my hair,
My T-shirt's fresh and clean,
My recess snacks are safely stowed
In my brand new Levis jeans,
I've got my frog for Show and Tell
My crayon box is ready,
And peeking out from my new back-pack
My favorite toy,
My Teddy.
Bye mom!
Bye dad!
Bye Rover too!
That's all I've got to say,
No kiss... no hug,
Just shake my hand
And I'll be on my way.
Out our front door
To a wide, new world,
OH BOY... I sure am cool!
I'm all grown up,
No baby stuff,
'Cause...
It's my First Day of School.
— I'm Not a Brat!, "Off to School"
Homer: Now son, on your first day of school, I'd like to pass along the words of advice my father gave me.
(he flashes back to his father sending him off)
Abe: Homer, you're as dumb as a mule and twice as ugly! If a strange man offers you a ride, I say take it!
Homer: Lousy traumatic childhood!
