After Today
Disney - A Goofy Movie Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴
But they're not gonna laugh anymore
No more "Maxie the geek", no more "Goof of the week"
Like before
No more algebra tests 'til September
No more lookin' at losers like him
No more more havin' to cheat
No more gym
No more gym
No more gym
No more gym!
Gonna move to the mall!
Gonna live in the pool!
Gonna talk to Roxanne and not feel like a fool!
'Cause after today I'm gonna be cruisin'!
After today she'll be mine!
After today my brains will be snoozin'!
If I don't faint I'll be fine!
I've got forty more minutes, of home economics
Then down with the text books
And up with the comics!
Just think of all the time I've been losin'
Finding the right thing to say!
But things will be going my way, after today
She looked right through me, and who could blame her?
I need a new me, plus some positive proof that I'm not just a goof, and
After today I'm gonna be cruisin'!
No more pep rallys to cut! Yech!
After today my brains will be snoozin'!
I'm gonna sit on my butt
I've got less than an hour, and when this is ended
I'll either be famous
Or you'll be suspended!
Just think of all the time I've been losin'
Waiting until I could say
Gonna be on my own, kiss the parents goodbye
Gonna party from now 'till the end of July
Things'll be going my way, after today
I wish that this was the day after today
