A-PLUS IN LOVE

I may make an "F" in English
They say my grammar just ain't good enough
I may make a "D" in History
And that Espaniola, boy, is rough
Well I may flank the whole semester
But if I do I'll promise stars above
That if I make an "E" in Geography
Gonna make an "A-plus" in love

Well now my girl just gave me a lecture
By showing how to get my home-work up
What a crip-course this is
The subject was on kisses
This is gonna pull my av'rage up
But just you wait, exams come tomorrow
I'm gonna cram and study till almost two
So I can make me an "E" in Geography
And "A-plus" in love with you

Well, now the grades ain't out
But I know what I've done
I've flanked all the courses but my favourite one
I played but I made A-plus in love with you
