Never say die, never say why (Oh yeah)

Make your mama happy 
Make somebody proud 
Never say die, never say why 
Stand up, touch the clouds 

Billy got a test in geometry 
He didn't study night before 
He wants a steady job and a salary 
So I guess he gotta study more 
That's why we're sayin'Ў­ 

CHORUS 

Annie went 2 college, got a Ph.D. 
Drive a BMW 
All the things Annie ever wanted 2 be 
She was when she finished school 
That's why we're sayin'Ў­ 

CHORUS 
(Yeah, yeah) 
(Somebody proud) 

People of 2morrow want a better way 
It gets harder and harder every day 
Don't let 'em fool ya, don't cha let 'em say
