A Song for Susan Lyrics by Clifford T. Ward

Waves

0

Susan wants to be a secretary
She has all the necessary requirements
But since her mom left home, her dad's gone to pieces
And she has to stay and look after
Her brothers and sisters and all the housework
Oh what a waste of education
Oh what a waste of education
Oh what a waste of education
Oh what a waste of education
She was trying so hard in all her subjects
And her school report made it clear
That a little more concеntration would make
All the differеnce to her work
But the subject she needed a little more help in
Was one that was not in the curriculum
The subject she needed a little more help in
Was one that was not on the time-table
About the art of combining washing and ironing
And shopping and cooking and such...
With homework essays, exam revision, punctuality
Prefect duties, choir practice, and
Playing for the school netball team
Oh what a waste of education
Oh what a waste of education
Oh what a waste of education
Oh what a waste of education
It's such a big responsibility
When you're only sixteen years old
And your friends are going out, buying new clothes
Going to discos, talking boyfriends
Sending for college prospectuses
