Now Billy  Joe McGuffrey was a really  clumsy kid
 On the first  day of first grade, I'll tell  you what he did
He  tripped over a pencil box, flew  up in the air
Landed  on a kangaroo who pulled out all his hair
First  aid in the first  grade
First  aid in the first  grade
First  aid in the first  grade
You  could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
 Now Billy Joe McGuffrey was a really clumsy kid
 On the second day of second grade, I'll tell you what he did
 He slipped on a banana peel, flew up in the sky
 Landed on a chimpanzee who poked him in the eye
 First aid in the second grade
 First aid in the second grade
 First aid in the second grade
 You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
 Now Billy Joe McGuffrey was a really clumsy kid
 On the third day of third grade, I'll tell you what he did
 He fell out of a fishing boat, splashed into the sea
 Landed on a moray eel who bit him on the knee
 First aid in the third grade
 First aid in the third grade
 First aid in the third grade
 You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
 Now Billy Joe McGuffrey was a really clumsy kid
 On the fourth day of fourth grade, I'll tell you what he did
 He went out on a tadpole hunt, slipped into the creek
 Landed on a large-mouth bass who bit him on the cheek
 First aid in the fourth grade
 First aid in the fourth grade
 First aid in the fourth grade
 You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
 Now Billy Joe McGuffrey was a really clumsy kid
 On the fifth day of fifth grade, I'll tell you what he did
 He went into the garden shop looking for a rose
 Sniffed a baby's breath and got a bee caught up his nose
 First aid in the fifth grade
 First aid in the fifth grade
 First aid in the fifth grade
 You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
 Now Billy Joe McGuffrey was a really clumsy kid
 On the sixth day of sixth grade, I'll tell you what he did
 He went out on a field trip, the first one of the year
 Backed into a sabertooth and pierced both of his ears
 First aid in the sixth grade
 First aid in the sixth grade
 First aid in the sixth grade
 You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
 Now Billy Joe McGuffrey was a really clumsy kid
 On the seventh day of seventh grade, I'll tell you what he did
 He tried out for the talent show to show how well he sung
 Cracked a grin, a wasp flew in, and stung him on the tongue
 First aid in the seventh grade
 First aid in the seventh grade
 First aid in the seventh grade
 You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
 Now Billy Joe McGuffrey was a really clumsy kid
 On the eighth day of eighth grade, I'll tell you what he did
 He tried to play some basketball went up for a dunk
 Landed in the bushes and got squirted by a skunk
 First aid in the eighth grade
 First aid in the eighth grade
 First aid in the eighth grade
 You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
 Now Billy Joe McGuffrey was a really clumsy kid
 On the ninth day of ninth grade, I'll tell you what he did
 He fed the pigs on grandma's farm, two piglets and a sow
 Slipped on their slop and then got stepped on by a cow
 First aid in the ninth grade
 First aid in the ninth grade
 First aid in the ninth grade
 You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
 Now Billy Joe McGuffrey was a really clumsy kid
 On the tenth day of tenth grade, I'll tell you what he did
 He went out on some water skis and hit a sunken log
 Wiped out all the lily pads, got spit on by a frog
 First aid in the tenth grade
 First aid in the tenth grade
 First aid in the tenth grade
 You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
 Now Billy Joe McGuffrey was a really clumsy kid
 On the eleventh day of eleventh grade, I'll tell you what he did
 He swept and missed an alley cat while taking driver's ed
 Ran into a tree and bumped the dashboard with his head
 First aid in the eleventh grade
 First aid in the eleventh grade
 First aid in the eleventh grade
 You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
 Now... Billy Joe McGuffrey was a really clumsy kid
 On the twelfth day of twelfth grade, I'll tell you what he did
 He walked into financial aid, fell and broke a bone
 Showed them all his bills and got a great big college loan
 First aid in the twelfth grade
 First aid in the twelfth grade
 First aid in the twelfth grade
 You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
 You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid
 You could buy a zoo with all the doctor bills he paid!
