Choir will sing this song:
The room is close. The air is hot. School is cool; detention not!
You start to sweat. Your throat is dry. You’re so upset, you want to cry.
What a mess. It’s all bad news, big time stress...
the in-school detention blues.
The chair is rough. You’re bored to death. You find it tough to catch your breath.
Not so nice. You did the crime. Busted twice, you’re doin’ time.
You stare at the wall. You stare at your shoes. You’re the one who’s got
the in-school detention blues.

When the other kids are out for recess,
you sit here in the closet, feeling nothing but stress.
Detention is a lesson that you’ll never forget!
You get what you deserve and you deserve what you get! (Sigh)
Take my advice and just behave. They’ll break you down, they know you’ll cave.
The rules are clear if you should stray. The fine sever, you have to pay.
You’ll never win if you should choose, the down and dirty never “purty”
in-school detention blues.
Yeah
I got the blues (I crave attention).
I got the blues (Lack of comprehension).
I got the blues (and did I mention).
I got the blues (an apprehension).
intervention true contention
in-school detention blues.
I got it bad.
