Status Back Baby

Frank Zappa

[Chorus]
I'm losing status at the high school
I used to think that it was my school
Wah, wah, wah, wah

[Verse 1]
I was the king of every school activity
But that's no more, oh mama, what will come of me? Oh

[Chorus]
The other night we painted posters
We played some records by The Coasters
Wah, wah, wah, wah

[Verse 2]
A bunch of pom-pom girls looked down their nose at me
They had painted tons of posters, I had painted three
I hear the secret whispers everywhere I go
My school spirit's at an all time low

[Instrumental]

[Chorus]
I'm losing status at the high school
I used to think that it was my school
Wah, wah, wah, wah

[Verse 3]
Everyone in town knows I'm a handsome football star
I sing and dance and spray my hair and drive a shiny car
I'm friendly and I'm charming, I belong to DeMolay
I'm gonna try like mad to get my status back today

[Outro]
Status back, baby, status back, baby
Status back, baby, status back, baby
