My Old School

Lyrics

I remember the 35 sweet goodbyes
 When you put me on the Wolverine up to Annandale
 It was still September when your daddy was quite surprised
 To find you with the working girls in the county jail
 I was smoking with the boys upstairs
 When I heard about the whole affair
 I said, "Whoa, no
 William and Mary won't do now"
 Well, I did not think the girl could be so cruel
 And I'm never going back to my old school
 Oleanders growing outside her door
 Soon they're gonna be in bloom up in Annandale
 I can't stand her doing what she did before
 Leaving like a gypsy queen in a fairy tale
 Well, I hear the whistle, but I can't go
 I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
 She said, "Whoa, no
 Guadalajara won't do, now
 Well, I did not think the girl could be so cruel
 And I'm never going back to my old school
 California tumbles into the sea
 That'll be the day I go back to Annandale
 I tried to warn you about Chino and Daddy Gee
 But I can't seem to get to you through the US Mail
 Well, I hear the whistle, but I can't go
 I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
 She said, "Whoa, no
 Guadalajara won't do now"
 Well, I did not think the girl could be so cruel
 And I'm never going back to my old school
