Stay In School

"Hi, this is the big O, Otis Redding I was just standing here thinking about you Thought I'd write a song about you And dedicate it to you Take a listen If you didn't go back to school this year Your really not groovy Maybe you feel that school is a drag It's just don't moving But did you ever think about how square you look standing In an employment line because school didn't empty you You really ought to think about it Without an education you could only be a tramp Grow 'grain' shoes, no haircut, just plain ole country Don't worry 'bout the fellows gonna calling you green Because your heading no future condition You really ought to think about it And further motto than that Otis Redding saved you very wise Because you'll be at the top When they get that and if they make it When they get that and if they make it When they get that and if they make it You really ought to think about it Think about it Really ought to think about it "
