He was born in a depressed nation

Started tough and worked his way right off the street

Thumbed his nose at a graduation

Wheeled and dealed, his education was complete



He's got all his hair, but his life is a wreck

Always been a brat, he don't get no respect

He's got the time, he's got the money

You better get out of his way

You better watch out for him, sonny



Back to school

He's gonna take that plunge

Gonna jump back in there

Back to school

He's gonna shape his mind

Gonna shed old skin there

Back to school



Spent some time in appreciation of finer arts

And the human body mysteries

Scoring high in procreation

Got an 'A' in the study of female anatomy



He thinks about his teacher in his literary class

He's staring at her legs

But he's dreaming 'bout her face

He's got the time

He's got the money

You better get out of his way

You better watch out for him, sonny



Back to school

He's gonna take that plunge

Gonna jump back in there

Back to school

He's gonna shape his mind

Gonna shed old skin there

Back to school
