[Verse 1]
F G Am
Afternoon in the homeroom, they're about to let you go
F G Am
And the locker slams on the plans you had tonight
F G Am
You've been messing around with your boyfriend, maybe better left alone
F G Am
There's a wise guy that you know who could put you right
F G Am
In the lot, the boy that's idling by doesn't rev your heart
F G Am
'Cause it's only lonely spots he shares with you
F G Am
And the long halls and the gray walls are gonna split apart
F G Am
Believe it or not there's life after high school
[Chorus]
And that's why
F G Am
The student body's got a bad reputation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
F G Am
What they need is adult education
F G Am
You go back to school, it's a bad situation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
F G Am
What you want is an…….. adult
Education
F G Am
(Repeat 2x)
Oh yeah
[Verse 2]
F G Am
The teacher don't know about how to deal with the student body
F G Am
And the underclassmen are flashing hot and cool
F G Am
All your girlfriends care about the watch you wear and talkin' about it
F G Am
Believe it or not there's life after high school
[Chorus]
That's why
F G Am
The student body's got a bad reputation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
F G Am
What they need is adult education
F G Am
You go back to school, is a bad situation (oh yeah, oh yeah)
F G Am
What you want is an adult
Education
F G Am
(Repeat 2x)
Oh yeah
Am
They're calling it a preparation
Am
You're waiting for a separation
Dm
You're nothing but another odd number
Dm C
Memories that you won't remember
Am
So you got a little education
Am
And a lot of dedication
Dm
But you want a little night school
Dm C
Maybe some of it will rub off on you
Am
The boys are busy in the mirrors
Am
Trying to imitate their heroes
Dm
You make it with a false surrender
Dm C
More memories you won't remember
Am
The senior with the junior Miss
Am
I wonder what the junior wishes
Dm
That she could graduate to adult
Dm C Dm
That she could graduate to adult kisses
F G Am

Adult education
F G Am
Adult education it's a bad situation

The low point of high school is what you wear
