ADULT EDUCATION

Daryl Hall and John Oates



Afternoon in the homeroom

They're about to let you go

And the locker slams

On the plan you had tonight

You've been messin around with a boyfriend

Maybe better left alone

There's a wise guy that you know

Could put you right

In the lot the boy that's idling by

doesn't rev your heart

Cause it's only lonely spots

He shares with you

And long halls and the gray walls

Are gonna split apart

Believe it or not

There's life after high school



And that's why the student body got

A bad reputation oh yeah, oh yeah

What they need is adult education

Back to school it's a bad situation

Oh yeah, oh yeah

But what you want is an adult education



The teacher don't know about how

To deal with the student body huh, huh

And the underclassmen are

Flashing hot and cool huh huh

All your girlfriends care about

Watch and wear and talkin about it huh huh

Believe it or not

There's life after high school



And that's why the student body got

A bad reputation oh yeah, oh yeah

What they need is adult education

Back to school it's a bad situation

Oh yeah, oh yeah

But what you want is an adult education



They're calling it preparation

You're waiting for a separation

You're nothing but another odd number

Memories that you won't remember

So you got a little education

And a lot of dedication

But you want a little night school

Maybe some of it'll rub off on you

The boys are busy in the mirrors

Trying to imitate their heroes

You make it with a false surrender

More memories you won't remember

The senior with the Junior Miss

I wonder what the junior wishes

That she could graduate to adult

That she could graduate to adult kisses



Adult education

Adult education

Adult education

It's a bad situation
