They
said that this was youth camp
I'd
have a lot of fun
And
then they went and stuck me in
English
101 [one oh one]
I
didn't know to come here
I'd
have to learn to read
I
thought that watching TV
Was
the only skill I'd need
And
I've got the freshman blues
Don't
even have time to snooze
Yeah,
it took me by surprise
And
really opened up my eyes
Oh,
the freshman blues
I
took a trip to campus
A
year ago last spring
They
took me to the caf'
And
fed me lots of tasty things
But
now I am not certain
Just
what is on my plate
It
smells a lot like something
That
I use for fishing bait
And
I've got the freshman blues
Don't
even have time to snooze
Yeah,
it took me by surprise
And
really opened up my eyes
Oh,
the freshman blues
When
I was back in high school
All
I had to do to pass
Was
try to pay attention
While
I's sitting in the class
But
now I'm here in college
The
first test got me shook
I
didn't realize to pass
I'd
have to read the book
And
I've got the freshman blues
Don't
even have time to snooze (except in class)
Yeah,
it took me by surprise
And
really opened up my eyes
Oh,
the freshman blues
