School was so easy, I was so sleazy,
And I always brought home the grades.
Come exams I was ready, my hands were so steady
I knew exactly what I knew.

I left school just another young fool
Ready to take on the world;
So from Brazil to the U.S. I’d sail —
I knew all I needed to know.

So here I was no longer in Oz,
Suddenly I was on my own.
For the first real time I had to stand in line
And work to stay alive.

But nove I’ve been out and I’ve learnt about
A lot of things in life.
about the stuff it’s made of, (and boy it’s paid off)
I’ve learnt how little I know.
