Oh, yeah yeah

Her voice is echoed in my mind
I count the days 'til she is mine
Can't tell my friends 'cos they will laugh
I love a member of the staff
I fight my way to front of class
To get the best view of her ass
I drop the pencil on the floor
She bends down and shows me more,

That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
You can call me crazy
I know that she craves me
That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
Girlfriends I've had plenty
None like Miss MacKenzie
That's what I go to school for
That's what I go to school for

So she maybe thirty three
But that doesn't bother me
Her boyfriend's working out of town
I find a reason to go round
I climb a tree outside her home
To make sure that she's alone
I've see her in her underwear
I can't help but stop and stare

That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
You can call me crazy
But I know that she craves me
That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
Girlfriends I've had plenty
None like Miss McKenzie
That's what I go to school for
That's what I go to school for

Everyone that you teach all day
knows you're looking at me in a different way
I guess, that's why
My marks are getting so high
I could see those tell tale signs
Telling me that I was on your mind
I could see that you wanted more
When you told me that I'm what you go to school for
I'm what you go to school for

She's packed her bag it's in the trunk
Looks like she picked herself a hunk
We drive by school to say goodbye
My friends they can't believe their eyes

That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
You can call me crazy
But I know that she craves me
That's what I go to school for
Even though it is a real bore
Girlfriends I've had plenty
None like Miss MacKenzie
That's what I go to school for
That's what I go to school for.

Busted have released a short video in which they track down their schoolboy crush, and star of the 'What I Go To School For' music video, Miss McKenzie.

In the promo video for their forthcoming tour the three lads can be seen creeping outside a house, much like their original music video, though this time they've aged just a little.

Speaking to the MailOnline, Matt explained how the clip came to be, saying: "We were thinking of interesting things to film whilst we were recording at Abbey Road, and came up with the idea of tracking down the original Miss McKenzie from the 'What I Go To School For' video."

He continued: "It was a really fun trip down memory lane and took us back to 13 years ago when we first filmed the video. And she still looks great!"

11 Reasons We'll Love Busted Until The Year 3000

1. They made school uniforms cool again. Joint credit should be given to Avril Lavigne, but at the time, no one looked better in a stripy tie than these guys.

1 of 11
2. 'What I Go to School For'. Speaking of school uniform, let’s never forget their slightly creepy but insanely catchy ode to a hot schoolteacher: “Girlfriends I’ve had plenty/None like Miss Mackenzie…”

2 of 11
3. That line up shot. It’s iconic (and also demonstrated that Charlie Simpson is an absolute GIANT compared to Matt and James).

4. Simmo’s eyebrows. Really need no introduction, Charlie Simpson’s bushy eyebrows set the bar waaaaaay before #onFleek was even a thing. Cara Delevingne, step aside.

4 of 11
5. Their dedication to hair products. Seriously, can we talk about how much gel and Sun-In is going on in this photo?

5 of 11
6. They made us want to take every photo with a fish eye lens. This shot of the boys was the epitome of everything that was cool in, like, 2004.

7. Busted OWNED the air jump. Whether it was on stage, in videos, or bizarrely, on space snowboards (?!) this was the band’s signature move.

8. They wrote ‘Sleeping With The Light On’ and we cried to it. A lot. Look at Charlie’s sad face. So beautiful. So sad.

8 of 11
9. 9. ‘Crashed The Wedding’ – what a tune, what a video, and the soundtrack to every wedding disco since.

9 of 11
10. They had a song on the Thunderbirds soundtrack, and it showcased Charlie’s gravelly, super emosh voice to perfection. All together now… “I’m calling you at 3am…”

10 of 11
11. Their splitting up press conference broke our actual hearts. But it is ok now, because they’ve come back to fix them. Welcome back, boys.

I don't give a damn about you
No nothing can change my mind no way
I'm happy just to let you walk away
Don't think about you at night
I'm happy to be alone it's ok
But that was yesterday and now I'm
Driving in my car
Words wont get me far
When they don't mean shhhhhhhhh aaaaargh!

Calling you at 3am and I'm
Standing here right outside the door
And I don't think that my heart can take much more
Scared of cracking up again I just
Want it to be like it was before
Cos I dont think that my heart can take much more

I don't give a damn what you do
I'm going to get with you
Again
And that's the way this night is gonna end
You say that you need time
How long does it take to see that we
Are more than meant to be

And now you're driving in your car
But you won't get far
Cos your car is sshhhhhhhh aaaargh!

Calling you at 3am and I'm
Standing right outside the door
And I don't think that my heart can take much more
Scared of cracking up again I just
Want it to be like it was before
Cos I dont think that my heart can take much more

Driving in my car
Words wont get me far
When they don't mean shhhhhhhhh aaaaargh!

Calling you at 3am and I'm
Standing right outside the door
And I don't think that my heart can take much more
Scared of cracking up again I just
Want it to be like it was before
Cos I dont think that my heart can take much more*

One day when I came home at lunch time I heard a funny noise
Went out to the backyard to find out if it was one of those rowdy boys
Stood there was my neighbor called Peter and a Flux Capacitor

He told me he built a time machine
Like the one in a film I've seen
Yeah, yeah

He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed but they lived underwater
And your great, great, great granddaughter
Is pretty fine"
(Is pretty fine)

He took me to the future in the flux thing and I saw everything
Boy bands and another one and another one and another one
Triple breasted women swim around town totally naked!

We drove around in a time machine
Like the one in a film I've seen
Yeah, yeah

He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed but they lived underwater
(Not much has changed but they lived underwater)
And your great, great, great grand daughter
Is pretty fine"
(Is pretty fine)

I took a trip to the year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our seventh album
It had outsold Micheal Jackson

I took a trip to the year 3000
This song had gone multi-platinum
Everybody bought our seventh album
Seventh album, seventh album

He told me he built a time machine
Like the one in a film I've seen
Yeah, yeah

He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed but they lived underwater
And your great, great, great granddaughter
(And your great granddaughter)
Is pretty fine"
(She's pretty fine)
Oh, oh, yeah

He said, "I've been to the year 3000
(3000)
Not much has changed but they lived underwater
(Not much has changed but they lived underwater)
And your great, great, great granddaughter
(And your great granddaughter)
Is pretty fine"

He said, "I've been to the year 3000
Not much has changed but they lived underwater
(Not much has changed but they lived underwater, yeah)
And your great, great, great grand daughter
(And your great granddaughter)
She's pretty fine"
(She's pretty fine)
He said, "I've been to the year 3000
(I've been to the year 3000)
Not much has changed but they lived underwater
And your great, great, great grand daughter
Is pretty fine
