Lyrics The Dean And I - 10cc

The Dean And I

Humdrum days
And a hum drum ways
Hey kids, let me tell you how I met your mom
We were dancing and romancing at the Senior Prom
It was no infatuation
But a gradual graduation
From a boy to a man
Let me tell you while I can
The soda pop came free
Hey Sis, one kiss, and I was heaven bound
Now who would have guessed Milton’s paradise lost could
Be found
But in the eyes of the Dean, his daughter
Was doing what she shouldn’a oughta
But a man’s gotta do
What a man’s gotta do
The consequence should be
Church bells, three swells
The Dean, his daughter and me
They were dating in the park
They were smooching in the dark
Of a doorway for two
She whispered «I love you —
Oh, you know I never felt this way before
Oh, you know the elevator in my heart
Has gone absent without leave, absent without leave, absent without leave,
absent without leave»
And then I kissed her
And when I kissed her
It’s a wonderful world
When you’re rolling in kisses
Now, the paint is peeling
(Humdrum days and hum drum ways)
Now, and when the chips are down
(Humdrum days and hum drum ways)
Now, you kinda lose all feeling
(Humdrum days and hum drum ways)
Now, your head goes round and round
(Humdrum days and hum drum ways)
Round and round and round and round and round
I’m throwing myself off this train
Humdrum days
And a hum drum ways
Humdrum days, he’s got
Humdrum ways, oh boy
Hey, you know I’m really earning now
My ship came in with a cargo of dollars
My name’s lit up on the prow
It’s a wonderful world
When you’re rolling in dollars
Now!
