Straight A's In Love

Straight A?s In Love
Well, a readin? and a writin? and ?rithmetic
never did get through to me.
It ain?t because I?m square or thick,
?cause I learned my A.B.C.s;
But when I graduated from the grammar school
and I moved one grade above,
I began to be a shnook at books,
but I made straight ?A?s in love.
Now, the teacher would say
to learn your algebray,
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 ought a give me one above,
If I made a mark for learnin? in the dark,
I?d have straight ?A?s in love.
Well, in my senior year with graduation
near I did work ev?ry night.
And when my mama said I ought a go to bed,
I?d turn out all the lights;
But my sweetie pie was waitin? right outside,
She?d be a coo in? like a dove,
Though I did my beat made some mess o? test,
but I made straight ?A?s in love.
