When the Emwork piles high and the Bmday drags by,
And you Gnever see the end in sAight.

I remember those, Dhigh school Gnights.
We had it Amade them, Dhigh school Gnights.
Those were the Adays them, Dhigh school Gnights.
You will reEmember all your Alife.

But you Emjust can't follow what the Bmhell's going on,
Cause you're Gthinking 'bout them high school Anights.

DStaring out the window in a Gdaydream Aworld.
DLooking at the parking lot, Gchecking out the Agirls.

Cause you're Gwondering what'll happen toAnight.
