"Alma Mater" lyrics

"Alma Mater"

Rain is falling down my cheek
Searching for the sea
Tomorrow like the rain
I'll be back home again

I watch the bus
As it pulls out of view
Someday like that bus
I will be leaving too
But you know
It breaks my heart
To leave you
Camelback, my high school

And now, alone
Crying in my beer
'Cause old friends said goodbye
I guess I'll be leaving too
But you know
It breaks my heart
To leave you
Cortez, I'll miss you

Yes I will, yes I will
You know I will
Yes I will, yes I will
You know I will

Well, so long (So long)
Everybody (Everybody)
I hope that I would see you again (Again)
Goodbye (Goodbye)
Everybody (Everybody)
I finally grew up
They finally let me out of school

Hey, remember the time
Remember the time we took that snake and we
We put it down little Betsy's dress?
Now, I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed
Now, I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed
Well, I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed

Oh, goodbye (Goodbye)
Everybody (Everybody)
I hope that I would see you again (Again)
So long (So long)
Everybody (Everybody)
How do you like that?
They finally let me out of school
Goodbye (Goodbye)

Ah, I wanna get out of here (So long)
They let me out of school, how 'bout that, huh? (I finally got out of school)
Goodbye
Hey, goodbye, guys
Maybe I'll see, maybe I'll see you around some time, huh?
Hey, don't make a stranger of yourself, huh?
Remember the Coop, huh?
May—, I ho—, I hope they don't forget me or nothing
Goodbye
