Stay In School - Otis Redding

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 move ya

But did you ever think about how square you look standing

In an unemployment line because school didn’t interest you

You really ought to think about it

Without an education you could only be a tramp

Brogan shoes, no haircut, just plain ole country

Don’t worry 'bout the fellas on the corner calling you green

Because you’re getting your future condition

You really ought to think about it

And further more tell them that Otis Redding said you’re 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
