Theme Song
Well, I wake up in the morning,
And the 'larm gives out a warning,
And I don't think I'll ever make it on time.
By the time I grab my books,
And I give myself a look,
I'm at the corner, just in time to see the bus fly by.
It's all right, 'cos I'm Saved by the Bell.
If the teacher pops a test,
I know I'm in a mess,
And my dog ate all my homework last night.,
Riding low in my chair,
She won't know that I'm there,
If I can hand it in tomorrow it'll be all right.
It's all right, 'cos I'm Saved by the Bell.
