Back When I Was Goin' To School,

I Never Learned A Thing.

All I Did Was Daydream,

A-waitin' For The Bell To Ring.



I Had A Certain Teacher,

I Always Tried To Impress Her.

When She Stood Up In The Classroom,

I Would Mentally Undress Her.



Then One Day I Decided,

That I Would Write A Little Letter.

She Said The Spellin' Was A Masterpiece,

The Punctuation Could Be Better.



I Understood What She Was Saying,

I Got The Gist Of Her Sentiment.

She Said I Don't Mean To Be Degrading,

But Here's The Way That It Shoulda Went:



I Love You - Period.

Do You Love Me - Question Mark.

Please, Please - Exclamation Point.

I Want To Hold You - In Parentheses.



Right On Up To High School,

People Said I Was A Writin' Fool.

All My Letters Became Really Great,

With Punctuation That Was Never Late.



But I Was Havin' Trouble Meetin' Girls.

I Never Knew The Things To Say.

Soon I Had 'em All Overwhelmed,

When They Heard Me Talk This Way, Like This:



I Love You - Period.

Do You Love Me - Question Mark.

Please, Please - Exclamation Point.

I Want To Hold You - In Parentheses.
