Lyrics:

Well, The Readin' And The Writtin' And Arithmatic
never Did Get Through To Me
it Ain't Because I'm Square Or Thick
'cause I Learned My Abc's
but When I Graduated From The Grammer 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 Algebra
but I'd Bring Home C's And D's
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
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 Learnin' In The Dark
i'd Have Straight A's In Love

now In My Senior Year
with Graduation Near
i Did My Homework Everynight
and When My Momma Said
i Oughta Go To Bed
i Turn Out All The Lights
but My Sweetie Pie
was Waitin' Right Outside
she'd Be A Cooin' Like A Dove
though I Did My Best
i Failed Semester Test
but Made Straight A's In Love

now The Teacher Would Say
to Learn Your Algebra
but I'd Bring Home C's And D's
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
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 Learnin' In The Dark
i'd Have Straight A's In Love
