Anthony Boy

Eight o'clock in the morning and I'm movin' on out to school
With an open book and a sleepy look, the teacher can't be fooled
I catch a pass in an early class, the teacher will never know
That I postponed my work at home watching the evening show

Hey, there! Anthony boy, why are you in such a rush?
The girl she wanna talk to you, look at him, he's a blush
Three o'clock in the afternoon completes a day of school
Before the thing can cease the ring he's in the vestibule

Betty and Barbara and Jeanie and Jane are yackity-yackin' with Joan
About some things that Anthony told her over the telephone
hey, there! Tony me boy, why are you in such a rush?
The girl she wanna talk to you, look at him, he's a blush

Hey, there! Anthony boy, why are you in such a rush?
The girl she wanna talk to you, look at him, how he blush
Betty told me the secret that I had told her not to tell
Now that you know she knows I know you know that all is well
Come come Tony, me boy, don't let 'em get in your hair
With a good education you may become a multi-millionaire

Hey, there! Anthony boy, why are you in such a rush?
The girl she wanna talk to you, look at him, he's a blush
