California Couldn't Pay Our Education - The Foremen[00:00:00]

Our blood runs blue we're loyal men and true[00:00:11]

The hope of a new generation[00:00:16]

But we don't speak too well [00:00:21]

We can't read or add or spell[00:00:23]

California couldn't pay our education[00:00:26]

Our rooms each fall were crowded wall to wall[00:00:36]

Resplendent in squalid privation[00:00:41]

And our texts were first-rate back in 1958[00:00:46]

California couldn't pay our education[00:00:52]

And three years on [00:01:01]

When they noticed we were gone[00:01:04]

They showered us with consideration[00:01:06]

And they transferred our files to the hall of juveniles[00:01:11]

California couldn't pay our education[00:01:17]

Now we've got great jobs;[00:01:47]

I stock the salad bar at Bob's[00:01:51]

And I polish knobs at Union Station[00:01:54]

And I practice law la la la la la la la[00:01:59]

California couldn't pay our education[00:02:04]

The proprietor of our local liquor store[00:02:13]

Refused our request for a donation[00:02:19]

But we changed his mind with a crowbar from behind[00:02:24]

California couldn't pay our education[00:02:29]

They locked us away for three years and a day[00:02:39]

Completing our alienation[00:02:44]

But we learned from those men[00:02:49]

How to not get caught again[00:02:52]

California finally paid our education[00:02:56]
