Mary of the 4th Form Songtext
von Bob Geldof

Sitting in the front row
Mary of the 4th form
Turning all the boys on
She′s turning all their heads around

Hitching up her short skirt
Stretching out her long legs
Pulling up her stockings
She's combing out her black hair
Staring at the teacher
Opening her lips wide
Shifting in her seat, yeah
She slowly moves her hips aside

But in the middle of the night
She wakes her mom to put out the light
Her make-up′s on and her jeans are skintight
And she's heading to the pillar bar

She walks into the pool hall room
The music's playing, you can see in the gloom
The boys are hanging out, around table number five


Johnnie looks alright tonight, she thinks
He gives her a smoke, and he buys her a drink
Shoots off a frame, and they head out into the night

M-M-M-M-Mary
Mary of the 4th form
Mary of the 4th form
Mary of the 4th form
Mary of the 4th form

Teacher′s losing control
Thankfully, the bell rings
But Mary′s left all alone
With no one but the teacher

She quickly drops her pencil
And slowly bends to get it
Well, teacher is a natural man
His hand moves out to touch her

She straightens and looks around now
She laughs and leaves the room, yeah
Heartbreak for the teacher
And sweet dreams for young Mary


But in the middle of the night
She wakes her dad to put out the light
Her make-up's on and her jeans are skintight
And she′s headed to the pillar bar

She walks into the pool hall room
The music's playing, you can see in the gloom
The boys are hanging out around table number five

Well, Johnnie looks great tonight, she thinks
He gives her a smoke and he buys her a drink
Shoots off a frame and they head off into the night

Mary of the 4th form
Mary of the 4th form
Mary of the 4th form
Mary of the 4th form
Mary of the 4th form
Mary of the 4th form

Hey, Mary!
