Things I Learned in High School

I learned to count to ten in French
I learned to cut a frog in two
I learned that showing how you feel
can be a deadly thing to do

and the things I learned in high school
I carry with me still
the lessons taught
the stuff I thought
the junk I heard
the crap I bought
the things I learned in high school
the parts I learned to play
have made me what I am today

I learned the history of the world
I learned that something equals pi
I learned that giving up is fine
as long as no one saw you try

and the things I learned in high school
have been there ever since
the feelings taught
the habits caught
the hopes I held
and the fears I fought
the things I learned in high school
have stuck along the way
and made me what I am...

thanks a lot
thanks a lot
for all the lessons I learned
I picked it up
took it in
got it down on the spot

thanks a lot
thanks a lot
to all the parties concerned
for the great well-rounded
public education I got

I learned a lot o’ things
a person might be better not to know
a lot o’ junk I should have
gotten rid of long ago
I learned a lot of facts
that are no longer even so

but the things I learned in high school
are with me all the same
in how I think
and how I speak
and where I'm strong
and where I'm weak
the playing cute
the acting tough
the nagging doubts
and enough’s enough

the things I learned in high school
cannot be wished away
they made me what I am today
