Lyrics

Grade 9

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 binder,

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.

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

Well, half my friends are crazy and the others are depressed

and none of them can help me study for my math test.

I got into the classroom and my knowledge was gone;

I guess I should've studied instead of watching Wrath Of Khan.

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

They called me chicken legs, they called me four-eyes

they called me fatso, they called me buckwheat,

they called me Eddie

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 red leather tie and pair of rugger pants,

I put them on and I went to the high school dance.

Dad said I had to be home by eleven -

aw, man, I'm gonna miss Stairway to Heaven.

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
