Lyrics
1. Sometimes we forget the time... 'n get Runnin' Lil' Behind
Way off in the Country... Lil' Jesse headin' to school
sidetracked at the swimmin' hole... forgettin' the (a)ttendance rule...
Decidin' to take him a lil' dip... an hour slips on by...
So, grabbin' up his britches, way too fast.. he rips the seam up its behind... 'cause...
Chorus 1:
He's Runnin' Lil' Behind... Yeah, I'm Runnin' lil' behind...
I hope Miss Teacher, she don't mind... 'cause, I'm Runnin' Lil' Behind
2. Scampin' away like a rabbit... finally makin' the schoolhouse door
runnin' right straight into Miss Teacher... who'd been standin' there from before
So, scurryin' off to his lil' desk... with his head all droopin' low...
he hears her voice from behind him... sayin'.... Lil' Jesse, you don't know...
But, I see your Runnin' Lil' Behind ... your Runnin' Lil' Behind... Boy...
your britches, they need stitches... 'cause, I see your Runnin' Lil' Behind
Chorus 2:
Your Runnin' Lil' Behind... your Runnin' Lil' Behind...
yeah, me 'n everyone can see.... your Runnin' Lil' Behind
