Lyrics

March, April, May

She crammed night and day I hadn't seen her smile in awhile

March, April, May She crammed night and day I hadn't seen her smile in awhile

Staircase at the university She threw herself down And her head split three ways

"If you don't get three A's", Her sweet daddy said, "You're no child of mine and as far as I'm concerned you're dead"

"If you don't get three A's", Her sweet daddy said "You're no child of mine and as far as I'm concerned you're dead"

Staircase at the university She threw herself down And her head split three ways

"If you don't get three A's", Her lovely boyfriend said, "Your shame is sure to stain the family name"

"If you don't get three A's", Her lovely boyfriend said, "Your shame is sure to stain the family name"

Staircase at the university She threw herself down And her head split three ways

Cramming, jamming Pack em’ in, ramming Chock-a-block Power study, Polish up And if it breaks your heart then don't come running to me

Cramming, jamming Pack em’ in, ramming Chock-a-block Power study, Polish up And if it breaks your legs then don't come running to me
