I Graduated


I used to be The Thing in this school
I owned Summit hook-line-and-sinker
I was a natural goof-off
And first-rate scholarly thinker

But then one day I heard the trumpet
Playing "Pomp and Circumstance"
I was a-slappin' my shin at the underclassmen
But it was my very last dance

And now all the juniors have become seniors
And Tessa moved to the midwest
I'm no longer part of the program
I got kicked out of the nest

'Cause I graduated (I graduated)
I graduated (I graduated)
My books have been bought and my brain has been fed
Not there 'cause I graduated
I'm the one that graduated

I used somersalt in the classroom
I used to teach the teachers a bunch
I used to chill with my homies
And drive them to Wendy's for lunch

But now I'm just a ghost in the hallway
Thinking back to before I died
A guest in my own home, feeling o-so-alone
Another one of those alumnis

It's like all the Summiteers are from Venus
And the college kids are from Mars
I miss the community lunches
At Dick's and Taco Del Mar

'Cause I graduated (I graduated)
I graduated (I graduated)
Eight years in my mind while I lay in my bed
Can't believe I graduated, yeah
I really graduated
Dontcha know my social life's dead
'Cause I up and graduated

(musical bridge)

I tasted straight-A report cards
I'm on the path to becoming a man
I'm going to community college
And I'll never see Maren again

'Cause I graduated (I graduated)
I done graduated (graduated)
The sights have been seen and the words have been said
My clan has all graduated, yeah
Carl has graduated
Jake and Tom graduated, oh
Sarah P. graduated
I said, Jeff O. has graduated
Carrie Webb graduated, woo!
Reiko graduated
Everyone graduated!
