Well, the readin' and the writin' arithmetic
Well, the readin' and the writin' arithmetic
Never did get through to me
Never did get through to me
It ain't because I'm square or thick
It ain't because I'm square or thick
'Cause I learned my A, be, see
'Cause I learned my A, be, see
But when I graduated from the grammar school
But when I graduated from the grammar school
And I moved one grade above
And I moved one grade above
I began to be a snook at books
I began to be a snook at books
But I made straight A's in love
But I made straight A's in love
Now the teacher would say to learn your algebra
Now the teacher would say to learn your algebra
But I'd bring home see's and D's
But I'd bring home see's and D's
How could I make an A when there's a swingin' maid
How Could I make an A when there's a swingin' maid
On the left and on the right and in the back and the front of me?
On the left and on the right and in the back and the front of me?
my grades are low on my card, I know
my grades are low on my card, I know
But they oughta give me one above
But they oughta give me one above
If they'd give me a mark for learnin' in the dark
If they'd give me a mark for learning in the dark
I'd have straight A's in love
I'd have straight A's in love
Now in my senior year with graduation near
Now in my senior year with graduation near
I did my homework every night
I did my homework every night
And when my momma said I oughta go to bed
And when my momma said I oughta go to bed
I turn out all the lights
I turn out all the lights
But my sweetie pie was waitin' right outside
But my sweetie pie was waiting right outside
She'd be a coolin' like a dove
She'd be a coolin' like a dove
Though I did my best, I failed semester test
Although I did my best, I failed semester test
But I made straight A's in love
But I made straight A's in love
Now the teacher would say to learn your algebra
Now the teacher would say to learn your algebra
But I'd bring home see's and D's
But I'd bring home see's and D's
How could I make an A when there's a swingin' maid
How Could I make an A when there's a swingin' maid
On the left and on the right and in the back and the front of me
On the left and on the right and in the back and the front of me
my grades are low on my card, I know
my grades are low on my card, I know
But they oughta give me one above
But they oughta give me one above
If they'd give me a mark for learnin' in the dark
If they'd give me a mark for learning in the dark
I'd have straight A's in love
I'd have straight A's in love
