i found my locker and i found my classes
lost my lunch and i broke my glasses
that guy is huge! that girl is wailin'!
first day of school and i'm already failing

this is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
this is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

i've got a blue-and-red adidas bag and a humongous
i'm trying my best not to look like a minor niner
i went out for the football team to prove that i'm a man
i guess i shouldn't tell them that i like duran duran

chorus

well half my friends are crazy and the others are depressed
and none of them can help me study for my math test
got into the classroom and my knowledge was gone
guess i should've studied instead of watching wrath of khan

chorus

they called me chicken legs, they called me four-eyes
they called me fatso, they called me buckwheat
they called me eddie

chorus

i've got a red leather tie and a pair of rugger pants
i put them on and i went to the high school dance
dad said i have to be home by eleven
aw man i'm gonna miss stairway to heaven

chorus
