Song: A good idea
You're ¹asleep / awake in bed, and your mum says
'Why don't you get up and go to school?'
You go on the bus-your friends talk a lot
So you listen to music on your phone.
In class, at the back you're talking to your friends
And your teacher tells you off again
You think:
'I often just want to go home
I always want to stay in bed
And be alone.
Sitting on the sofa,
In front of the ²TV / computer
Is a good idea for me
Sounds like a great idea to me.'
You see your dad in town, and he says to you
'How about going for a walk?'
Then you go out to a ³restaurant / café and eat fast food
And he says 'Let's finish your homework'
But you don't really feel like studying now -
You prefer playing video games.
Then next 
month / week you're on holiday.
You always love being on holiday.
What will you do on holiday?
You feel like doing everything!
You get up 
late / early and your mum says, 'Why don't you go out to the park?'
So you get your things, and you call your friends
And you play sports all 
afternoon / morning
Your dad wants to go out to the cinema
So you run home from the park, and you go in the 
car / bus.
And you think:
'I always want to stay awake!
I love to be with friends
And my family!
I want to play all 
night / day I never want to sleep.
Sounds like a good idea to me
Yeah, that's a great idea for me'
