Grade 9 Lyrics

    Words & Music by Andy Creeggan, Jim Creeggan, Steven Page, Ed Robertson & Tyler Stewart

    I found my locker and I found my classes
    Lost my lunch and I broke my glasses,
    That guy is huge! That girl is wailing!
    First day of school and I'm already failing.

    This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
    This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

    I've got a blue and red Adidas bag and a humongous binder,
    I'm trying my best not to look like a minor niner.
    I went out for the football team to prove that I'm a man
    I guess I shouldn't tell them that I like Duran Duran.

    This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
    This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

    Well, half my friends are crazy and the others are depressed
    and none of them can help me study for my math test.
    I got into the classroom and my knowledge was gone;
    I guess I should've studied instead of watching Wrath Of Khan.

    This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
    This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

    They called me chicken legs, they called me four-eyes
    they called me fatso, they called me buckwheat,
    they called me Eddie

    This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
    This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine

    I've got a red leather tie and pair of rugger pants,
    I put them on and I went to the high school dance.
    Dad said I had to be home by eleven --
    aw, man, I'm gonna miss Stairway to Heaven.

    This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
    This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
