[00:00.00]Straight A's in Love [1959] (Album Version) - Jarrod
[00:17.76]Well the readin' and the writin' arithmetic
[00:20.39]Never did get through to me
[00:24.11]It ain't because I'm square or thick
[00:26.17]'Cause I learned my A B C
[00:29.14]But when I graduated from the grammar school
[00:32.02]And I moved one grade above
[00:35.06]I began to be a snook at books
[00:37.70]But I made straight A's in love
[00:40.65]Now the teacher would say to learn your algebra
[00:43.49]But I'd bring home C's and D's
[00:46.26]How could I make an A when there's a swingin' maid
[00:49.42]On the left and on the right
[00:52.17]And in the back and the front of me
[00:55.07]Oh my grades are low on my card I know
[00:57.96]But they oughta give me one above
[01:00.65]If they'd give me a mark for learnin' in the dark
[01:03.59]I'd have straight A's in love
[01:18.12]Now in my senior year with graduation near
[01:20.82]I did my homework every night
[01:23.74]And when my momma said I oughta go to bed
[01:26.53]I turn out all the lights
[01:29.31]But my sweetie pie was waitin' right outside
[01:32.33]She'd be a coolin' like a dove
[01:35.10]Though I did my best I failed semester test
[01:38.04]But I made straight A's in love
[01:41.01]Now the teacher would say to learn your algebra
[01:43.93]But I'd bring home C's and D's
[01:46.62]How could I make an A when there's a swingin' maid
[01:49.91]On the left and on the right
[01:52.50]And in the back and the front of me
[01:55.43]Oh my grades are low on my card I know
[01:58.37]But they oughta give me one above
[02:01.00]If they'd give me a mark for learnin' in the dark
[02:03.95]I'd have straight A's in love
