School Daze

Teacher, teacher, couldn't you please call on someone else?
I know I've been here all day long, but my mind's been somewhere else.
Dreaming of nights at the drive-in, when I should've been home in bed.
I'd sure like to share my delight in all this, but I can't stand up, I can't stand up just yet.
I can't stand up just yet.
I can't stand up just yet.
I can't stand up just yet.

Sitting in anticipation of the classroom bell.
The girl that sits in front of me, I know her really well.
Holding her hand in the hallway, we used to kiss in the dark.
Some other time, I would jump at the chance, but I can't stand up, I can't stand up just yet.
I can't stand up just yet.
I can't stand up just yet.
I can't stand up just yet.

Friday nights, I swear I'll never forget the way we danced.
Writing letters to each other, now that was sweet romance.
I went on a date with the prom queen, she was s'posed to be home by ten.
I'd sure like to tell you about it sometime, but I can't stand up, I can't stand up just yet.
I can't stand up just yet.
I can't stand up just yet.
I can't stand up just yet.

I can't stand up just yet.
I can't stand up just yet.
I can't stand up just yet.
I can't stand up just yet.
