Good-bye to High School
words and melody by Terry Kane

Composed for and dedicated to Tim Hill, on the eve of his graduation June 12, 2011

Chorus:
Good-bye to high school
I'm filling up my swimming pool
No alarm to set today
Cause in my bed is where I'll stay

Verse 1:
I'll be workin' every angle with the girls I see
But won't be usin' no geometry
Well teasin' -n- squeazin' melts a girl's defience
Why didn't they teach that in science?

Verse 2:
I'm thinkin' I'm gonna head to Maine
I could take a bus or take a plane
I might take a train to my new address      but.....
I won't take one more _________ test.
