Well a reading and a writing and
Arithmetic never did get through
To me it ain't because I'm square
Or thick, because I learned my ABC's
But when I graduated from the
Grammar school and I moved one
Grade above i began to be a snook
At books but I made straight A's in love
Now the teacher would say to learn
Your algebrae but I'd bring home C's
And D's how could I make an A when
There's a swinging maid on the left
And on the right and in the back and
The front of me oh my grades are low
On my card I know but they oughta
Give me one above if they'd give me
A mark for learning in the dark I'd have
Straight A's in love
Now in my senior year with graduation
Near I did my homework every night
And when my mama said I oughta go
To bed I'd turn out all the lights but my
Sweetie pie was waiting right outside
She'd be a cooing like a dove though
I did my best I failed semester test but
I made straight A's in love
Now the teacher would say to learn
Your algebrae but I'd bring home C's
And D's how could I make an A when
There's a swinging maid on the left
And on the right and in the back and
The front of me oh my grades are low
On my card I know but they oughta
Give me one above if they'd give me
A mark for learning in the dark I'd have
Straight A's in love
