Let me take you to the scene of the crime,
Show you where it all began.
I'd just finished a twenty page project
All about Japan.
I left it on the table when I went to bed,
In the morning I could not believe my eyes.
It was all over the floor,
You might just say, it was kind of bite-sized.

Chorus:
Don't you know that my doggy ate my homework,
You know that it's true.
My doggy ate my homework,
That old rascal Clue.
I've been working on this for a month or more,
I finally got it right.
Why didn't somebody feed that dog last night?

The teacher said "Class, bring up your work,
You know today it's due."
I said "Teacher, oh dear teacher,
Can I talk to you?"
She said "I do not want to hear your excuses
Like so many times before,
If you don't have this finished,
You can go and see the principal's door!"

Chorus

Why doesn't no one believe me?
Well they won't hear a word that I say
Why doesn't no one believe me?
Oh now don't let that dog get away!

Look at her, just licking her lips!
I know she did it, and she knows she did it,
And I know that she knows that I know she did it,
Well, I'm gonna get that Clue someday.

She said, "I do not want to hear your excuses
Like so many times before,
If you don't have this finished
You can go and see the principal's door!"

Chorus

Why didn't somebody go and feed that crazy dog last night?
