Straight A's in Love Lyrics

Straight A's In Love

Well, a readin? and a writin? and ?rithmetic
Never did get through to me.
It ain't because I'm square or thick,
?cause I learned my A.B.C.s;
But when I graduated from the grammar school
And I moved one grade above,
I began to be a shnook at books,
But I made straight ?A's in love.

Now, the teacher would say
To learn your algebray,
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 ought a give me one above,
If I made a mark for learnin? in the dark,
I'd have straight ?A's in love.

Well, in my senior year with graduation
Near I did work ev?ry night.
And when my mama said I ought a go to bed,
I'd turn out all the lights;
But my sweetie pie was waitin? right outside,
She?d be a coo in? like a dove,
Though I did my beat made some mess o? test,
But I made straight ?A's in love.
Now, the teacher would say
To learn your algebray,
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 ought a give me one above,
If I made a mark for learnin? in the dark,
I'd have straight ?A's in love.
