Anthony Boy Lyrics

Eight o抍lock in the morning

And I抦 movin?on out to school;

With an open book and a sleepy look,

The teacher can抰 be fooled.

I take a pass in an early class,

The teacher will never know,

That I postponed my work at home

Watching the evening show. 

Hey, there! Anthony boy, why 憆?you in such a rush?

The girl she wanna talk to you,

Look at him he抯-a blush. 

Three o抍lock in the afternoon

Completes a day of school;

Before the thing can cease the ring,

He抯 in the vestibule.

Betty and Barbara and Jeanie and Jane

Are yackity-yackin?with Joan,

About some things that Anthony told

Her over the telephone. 

Hey, there! Anthony boy, why 憆?you in such a rush?

The girl she wanna talk to you,

Look at him he抯-a blush. 

Hey, there! Anthony boy, why 憆?you in such a rush?

The girl she wanna talk to you,

Look at him he抯-a blush. 

Betty told me the secret

That I had told her not to tell;

Now that she knows I know

You know that all is well.

Come come Tony, me boy,

Don抰 let 慹m get in your hair,

With a good education you may

Become a multi-millionaire. 

Hey, there! Anthony boy, why 憆?you in such a rush?

The girl she wanna talk to you,

Look at him he抯-a blush.
