Lyrics
Open the windows, Virginia,
Let the wind blow the papers away.
Don`t know if you`ve got it in ya`.
Just like a dunce in the eighth grade,
You`ll soon be an old maid,
School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher.
You`re a beginner, Virginia,
Simple arithmatic shows a delay.
Do all the sums deep within `ya,
Oh yes, and then a**ign the grade,
You`ll soon be an old maid,
School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher.
Your soul`s in limbo, Virginia,
You found a formula for your mistakes.
God doesn`t know where to send `ya,
The Bible`s black opaque keepsakes,
When your red hair`s turning grey,
School teacher, rule creature, cool creature, school teacher.
