Straight A's In Love
1955-1960


Lyrics:

Well, the readin' and the writin' arithmetic.
Never did get through to me.
It ain't because I'm square or thick.
'Cause I learned my A, be, see.

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.

Now the teacher would say to learn your algebra.
But I'd bring home see'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 every night.
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 coolin' like a dove.
Though I did my best, I failed semester test.
But I made straight A's in love.

Now the teacher would say to learn your algebra.
But I'd bring home see'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.
