Lyrics

Studio version

Everyone from home says that you're so cool
Come on, everybody, to the boarding school
Everyone from town says that you're so cool
Come on, get down to the boarding school

L-l-let's do drugs, make love with our teachers
Come on, little Tommy, with his tattooed-ass feature
I'm a fan of pro-ana nation
I do them drugs to stop the f-food cravings
If you wanna get high with me, I'm in the back
Doin' crack, drinkin' P-p-Pepsi

Everyone from home says that you're so cool
Come on, everybody, to the boarding school
Everyone from town says that you're so cool
Come on, get down to the boarding school

Cheap trailer trash and everyone knows it
But she got a great ass and she knows how to show it
With American flags on each little finger
You're crashing on Wall Street while I'm blowing up as a singer

If you wanna get that scholarship
Yale's not a problem, let's solve it
Educated in the language of doin' it
Get down like your tutor taught you to and do it

Everyone from home says that you're so cool
Come on, everybody, to the boarding school
Everyone from town says that you're so cool
Come on, get down to the boarding school

If you wanna get that sugar cane
If you wanna be that pin up queen
You can, you can

If you wanna do that South Beach swing
Or go on a group vacationing
You can, you can, you can

(Three, four)

When they said prolific, they weren't kiddin'
You thought that I was just a calendar kitten
But now you heard me purrin', tiger, you're smitten
So let's begin to major in the art of sinnin'

Everyone from home says that you're so cool
Come on, everybody, to the boarding school
Everyone from town says that you're so cool
Come on, get down to the boarding school

(Get down, get down)

Live version

Everyone from home says that you're so cool
Come on, Billy, let's all go to boarding school
Everyone from home says that you're so cool
Let's get down to the boarding school

L-l-let's do drugs, make love with our teachers
Come on, little Tommy, with his tattooed-ass feature
I'm a fan of a pro-ana nation
I do them drugs to stop the f-food cravings
If you wanna get high with me
I'm in the back doin' crack, drinkin' pep-po-Pepsi

Everyone from home says that you're so cool
Come on, everybody, go to boarding school
Everyone from town says that you're so cool
Let's get down to the boarding school

Cheap trailer trash and everyone knows it
But she got a great ass and she knows how to show it
American flags on each little finger
You're crashing on Wall Street and I'm blowing up as a singer

If you wanna get that scholarship
Yale's it's not a problem - I'll solve it
Educated in the language of doin' it
Get down like your tutor taught you to and prove it

Everyone from home says that you're so cool
Come on, everybody, go to boarding school
Everyone from town says that you're so cool
Let's get down and go to boarding school

If you wanna get that sugar cane
Or that crystal methamphetamine
You can, you can, you can

If you wanna do that South Beach swing
Or go on a group
