Matt The Electrician Valedictorian
Football player in the second row
Never knew that she was beautiful
Momma's crying with her head down low
Daddy with the video
Drummers drum and the horns all blow
Marching band's circling tight
Everyone is moving in slow-mo
She's at the speed of light
And the valedictorian
Sheds her clothes in the midday between spring and summer sun
She says, "This is who I am.
And I'll never see any of you ever again."
Oh, the principal and counselors close in
Trying to avert a scene
She just keeps on sticking to her speech
Feeling like a prom queen
Somebody shuts off the microphone
Pandemonium ensues
She turns and runs across the football field
In nothing but her socks and shoes
And the valedictorian
Sheds her clothes in the midday between spring and summer sun
She says, "This is who I am.
And I'll never see any of you ever again."
