My Old School
I remember
The 35 sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the wolverine up to Annandale
It was still September
When your daddy was quite surprised
To see you with the working girls in the county jail
I was smoking with the boys upstairs
When I heard about the whole affair
I said, "Oh, no
William and Mary won't do, now"
Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I'm never going back
To my old school
Oleanders growing outside her door
Soon they're gonna be in bloom
Up in Annandale
I can't stand her
Doing what she did before
Living like a gypsy queen in a fairy tale
Well I, hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm gonna, take her down to Mexico
She said, "Oh, no
Guadalajara won't do, now"
Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I'm never going back
To my old school
California tumbles into the sea
That'll be the day I go back to Annandale
Tried to warn ya
About Dino and Daddy Gee
But I can't see to get to you through the US mail
Well I, hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm gonna take her down to Mexico
She said, "Oh, no
Guadalajara won't do, now"
Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I'm never going back
To my old school
The 35 sweet goodbyes
When you put me on the wolverine up to Annandale
It was still September
When your daddy was quite surprised
To see you with the working girls in the county jail
I was smoking with the boys upstairs
When I heard about the whole affair
I said, "Oh, no
William and Mary won't do, now"
Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I'm never going back
To my old school
Oleanders growing outside her door
Soon they're gonna be in bloom
Up in Annandale
I can't stand her
Doing what she did before
Living like a gypsy queen in a fairy tale
Well I, hear the whistle but I can't go
I'm gonna, take her down to Mexico
She said, "Oh, no
Guadalajara won't do, now"
Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I'm never going back
To my old school
California tumbles into the sea
That'll be the day I go back to Annandale
Tried to warn ya

But I can't see to get to you through the US mail
Well I, hear the whistle but I can't go

She said, "Oh, no

Well I did not think the girl
Could be so cruel
And I'm never going back
To my old school
