Mary Of The 4th Form Lyrics - The Boomtown Rats - Boomtown Rats

Sittin' in the front row 

Mary of the fourth form 

Turnin' all the boys down 

She's turnin' all their heads around 

Hitchin' up her short skirt 

Stretchin' out her long legs 

Pullin' up her stockings 

She's combing out her black hair 

Starin' at the teacher 

Openin' her lips wide 

Shiftin' in her seat. Yeah, 

She slowly moves her hips aside 

But in the middle of the night 

She wakes her Mom to turn out the light 

Her make-up's on and her jeans are skin tight 

And she's heading to the Pillar Bar 

Johnnie looks alright tonight she thinks 

He gives her a smoke and he buys her a drink 

He shoots a frame and they head off into the night. 

Mary of the fourth form. 

Mary of the fourth form. 

Mary of the fourth form. 

Mary of the fourth form. 

Teacher's losing control 

Thankfully the bell rings 

Mary's left all alone 

With no one but the teacher 

She quickly drops her pencil 

And slowly bends to get it 

Teacher is a natural man 

His hand moves out to touch her 

She straightens and looks around, yeah 

She laughs and leaves the room, yeah 

Heartbreak for the teacher 

Sweet dreams for young Mary 

But in the middle of the night 

She wakes her Dad to turn out the light 

Her make-up's on and her jeans are skin tight 

And she's headed to the Pillar Bar 

Johnnie looks great tonight, she thinks 

He gives her a smoke and he buys her a drink 

Shoots a frame and they head off into the night. 

Mary of the fourth form. 

Mary of the fourth form. 

Mary of the fourth form. 

Mary of the fourth form.
