[Verse 1]
F F7 F F7 F F7 F F7 F
Well a reading and a writing and arithmetic never did get through to me
F7 F F7 F F7 F F7 F F7
It ain't because I'm square or thick, because I learned my ABC's
F F7 F F7 F F7 F F7
But when I graduated from the grammar school and I moved one grade above
Bb Bb7 Bb Bb7 C C7 F F7
I began to be a snook at books but I made straight A's in love
[Chorus]
Bb Bb7 Bb Bb7 F F7 F F7
Now the teacher would say to learn your algebrae but I'd bring home C's and D's
Bb Bb7 Bb Bb7
How could I make an A when there's a swinging maid
C* Bb C* Bb C* (F/F)
On the left and on the right and in the back and the front of me
F F7 F F7 F F7 F F7
Oh my grades are low on my card I know but they oughta give me one above
Bb Bb7 Bb Bb7 C C7 F F7
If they'd give me a mark for learning 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
F F7 F F7 F F7 F F7 F
And when my mama said I oughta go to bed I'd turn out all the lights
F F7 F F7 F F7 F F7 F
But my sweetie pie was waiting right outside she'd be a cooing like a dove
Bb Bb7 Bb Bb7 C C7 F F7
Though I did my best I failed semester test but I made straight A's in love

Oh my grades are low on my card I know but they oughta give me one above
Bb Bb7 Bb Bb7 C C7 F F7 F N.C.
If they'd give me a mark for learning in the dark I'd have straight A's in love
