Barenaked Ladies - Grade 9 LYRICS

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 Im already failing.

*chorus*
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.

Ive got a blue and red Adidas bag and a humongous binder
Im trying my best not to look like a minor niner.
I went out for the football team to prove that Im a man;
I guess I shouldnt 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.
I got into the classroom and my knowledge was gone;
I guess I shouldve 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*

Ive 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, Im gonna miss Stairway to Heaven.

*chorus
