I held books over my head when I was just a kid,
When I wouldn't listen to what the teacher said;
And when I played the fool, breaking all the rules,
I learned my lesson out behind the shed.
Out behind the shed, out behind the shed,
The lessons that I learned when I was just a kid;
And when I played the fool, breaking all the rules,
I learned my lesson out behind the shed.
On Sunday we would rise, wipe the sleep out of our eyes,
March to the church now, good girls and boys;
And when we didn't listen to what the preacher said,
Learned our lesson out behind the shed.
Out behind the shed, out behind the shed,
The lessons that I learned when I was just a kid;
And when I played the fool, breaking all the rules,
I learned my lesson out behind the shed.
When I became a lad, oh the fun we had,
Tryin' to sneak a kiss from the girls to make them mad;
We thought we all knew love from the girly books we read,
Learned our lesson out behind the shed.
Out behind the shed, out behind the shed,
The lessons that I learned when I was just a kid;
And when I played the fool, breaking all the rules,
I learned my lesson out behind the shed.
Now I have a son and when the work is done,
We sit by the window, watch the setting sun;
And when he asks me why I'm so careful where I tread,
I learned my lesson out behind the shed.
Out behind the shed, out behind the shed,
The lessons that I learned when I was just a kid;
And when I played the fool, breaking all the rules,
I learned my lesson out behind the shed.
