Danger. Help me. This isn't fair / Gotta be a kids worst nightmare
Listening in on what it is my aunts say / It's obvious ................ dangerous

They say - she's really a mess - she needs an ounce of finesse
If she's to have any success - we think it would be best

Charm school - send her to charm school / They'll fill her all full of poise and
Charm school - elegant charm school/ That je ne sais quoi school - our prayers are answered

This tomboy don't feel so well / Seems like some axe just fell
And I know this talk's a trap / They're throwing my ass in

Charm school - elegant charm school / That je ne sais quoi school
Their prayers are answered

As soon as I get my mother alone / My voice takes on a whining tone
How could you ever do this to me / I'll end up running from tree to tree
So the other kids won't see / I'd never dare to let them know
You're the kind of mother that makes kids go (2x)

To Charm school - prissy ol' charm school / I'm major embarrassed
Rep ripped to shreds / I could feel her start to weaken / After a week of pissing & moaning

Is it obvious that I never went to charm school
Each foot that I put in my mouth - is an opportunity to move the other one out.
Is it obvious that I never went to charm school - obvious - obvious

Listen Ma, you've taught me a lot - like never wipe my hands on the dog
Excuse myself when my body makes noise / Don't haul off & belch the alphabet at the boys

Charm school could do me great harm - you'll just waste your money
I'm your first born - I'd be irrevocably damaged / You'd end up paying parades of bad shrinks.

Maybe if I'd listened to what my aunt's say / I'd be making a 6 figure salary today
Posing with some brand new appliance / But no, I had to get all defiant

Is it obvious that I never went to charm school - obvious - obvious - obvious -obvious

description: Everyone needs to learn role playing and what is considered not only just acceptable behavior, but behaviors that will help them fit into various social classes and behaviors that will allow them to advance in social, political and economic circles. At least that's what some people believe. Youth cultures from the 1950s to the present have all had their rebellious sides, whether goth, nerd, hippy, alt. frat (think Animal House). This then is based on our experiences, with a girl's perspective, though we should point out that Flo considers herself one of only a few who graduated from the Ed Vadas Finishing School.
