C (C4)(C) G
And the teacher taught us values, that we had to learn to keep,
C (C4) (C) G
And they clipped the ear of many i - dle kid who went to sleep!
'Til my faCther organ -iFsed for me... a cG/Bollege in the eCast,
But I wCent to Cali - foFrnia, for the suG/Bnshine and the bCeach,
My paCrents, and my lectFurers, could nC/Gever under - stGand, G7

On a girl I met in Berkeley, in a Social Science class,
C (C4) (C) G
Yes, and we learnt about her body, but her mind we didn't know,
C (C4) (C) G
Un - til deep rooted atti - tudes, and morals, began to show!
She waCnted to get marFried, even tG/Bhough she never sCaid,
And I kCnew her well e - noFugh, by now, to G/Bsee inside her hCead,
She'd seCttle for sub - uFrbia, and a lC/Gittle patch of lGand, G7
