Straight A's In Love · letra

Verse 1

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

Chorus

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

Verse 2

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

Chorus

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
