Song name: 4th Grade Book Report Blues


D                     G
my 4th grade book report
I read you to the end
Em                     G             D
but I would not recommend you to a friend

you were the right reading level
just the right twists and bends
still I would not recommend you to a friend


D                G
You left me so empty
in that rear library room
you talked about menstruation more than Judy Blume
I never dogeared you 
as much as that bully ken
Em                  G             D
so I would not recommend you to a friend
no I would not recommend you to a friend

Em                   G
4th grade became 5th grade 
and then you moved west
Em                  G                     D
and even though my comprehension was the best
D                  G
you didn't say a word
didn't sign my yearbook in pen

so I would not recommend you to a friend
no I would not recommend you to a friend
no I would not recommend you to a friend
no I would not recommend you to a friend

Em                     G
no I would not recommend you
Em                    G
would not defend you
Em                  G               D
when the boys start throwing rocks again
no I would not recommend you to a friend
I would not recommend you to a friend

You were my 4th grade book report
even when the school year ends
but I would not recommend you to a friend
