Forget About the Grades Lyrics

MILLIE:
No canary in a cage for me

This canary's ready to fly free

Cut the cord

Are those the marks I once adored?

They're more useless than an albatross

No great loss

Doublecrosser.

Forget about the grades.

Pull the plug

'Cause all they do is pull the rug

They're lower than an alley cat

Dirty rat

But I flatter

Forget about the grades

Forget about the grades

Forget about the grades

And in the moonlight
Don't you think about them

I know you're much better off without them.

You can blow the blues a kiss goodbye

And put the sun back in the sky

For when school comes crawlin'

I'm not fallin'

Shout hooray and halleluh!

Now me and all these tests are through

Grades don't prove anything,

Just some things like endurance.

Forget about the grades

Forget about the grades

Forget about -

This new C. These new Cs.

STUDENT #1:

Straight As

STUDENT #2:

Straight Bs

STUDENT #3:

Failing

STUDENT #4:

Passing

STUDENT #5:

Weighted

STUDENT #6:

Unweighted

STUDENT #7:

Mixed grades

STUDENT #8:

Killed for a B

STUDENT #9:

Praying for a B

STUDENT #10:

Just want to pass

MISS FLANNERY:

3.85 (three point eight five), all four years

MILLIE:
New Cs, oh new Cs. 
These silly grades.
On my heart they abrade.

MISS FLANNERY and ALL STUDENTS:

Cut the cord

Are those the marks I once adored?

They're more useless than an albatross

No great loss

Doublecrosser.

Forget about the grades.

Pull the plug

'Cause all they do is pull the rug

They're lower than an alley cat

Dirty rat

But I flatter

Forget about the grades

Forget about the grades

Forget about the grades
