INTRO: E

VERSE:

E

Well a-readin' and a-writtin' and arithmatic never did get through to me

E

It ain't because I'm square or thick cause I learned my ABC's

E

But when I graduated from grammar school and I moved one grade above

A B7 E

I began to be a snook at hook but I made straight A's in love

CHORUS:

E A E

Now the teacher would say to learn your algebra but I'd bring home C's and D's

E A

How could I make an A when there's a swingin' maid

A F# B7

On the left and on the right and in the back and the front of me

B7 E

Oh my grades are low on my card I know but they oughta give me one above

E A B7 E

If they'd give me a mark for learning in the dark I'd have straight A's in love

INSTRUMENTAL: E A B7 E

VERSE:

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 one sweetie pie was waiting right outside she'd be cooing like a dove

Although I did my best I failed semester test but I made straight A's in love

REPEAT CHORUS
