Well, the readin' and the writin' and arithmetic
ch]F[/ch
never did get through to me.
ch]Fm[/ch
It ain't because I'm square or thick cause I
ch]F[/ch
learned my A B C's.
ch]Fm[/ch
But when I graduated from the grammar school
ch]F[/ch
and I moved one grade above, I began to be a
ch]Fm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
snook at books but I made straight A's in love.
CHORUS:
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]Gm[/ch
Now, the teacher would say to learn your Algebra,
ch]F[/ch
but I'd bring home C's and D's.
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
How could I make an A when there's a swingin' maid
ch]G[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
on the left, and on the right, and in the back, and
ch]C[/ch
the front of me?
BRIDGE:
ch]Fm[/ch
Oh, my grades are low on my card, I know, but they
ch]F[/ch
oughta give me one above.
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]Gm[/ch
If they'd give me a mark for learnin' in the dark,
ch]C[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
I'd have straight A's in love.
INTERLUDE:

ch]Fm[/ch
Now, in my senior year with graduation near I did my
ch]Gm[/ch] [ch]Fm[/ch
homework every night.
ch]Fm[/ch
And when my momma said I oughta go to bed I'd turn out
ch]Gm[/ch] [ch]F[/ch
all the lights.
ch]C[/ch] [ch]Fm[/ch
But my sweetie pie was waitin' right outside, she'd be
a-cooin' like a dove.
ch]Bb[/ch] [ch]C[/ch
Though I did my best, I failed semester test, but made
ch]F[/ch
straight A's in love.
