Straight A's In Love

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 ABC's
 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 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 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-cooin' 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, "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
