(Cummings/Wallace)
Well you asked me to be your escort baby
On Graduation Day
Wrote me a note and here's what you wrote
You cried boo hoo hoo
And your tears were killin' me babe
Wah wah wah.
I think you better straighten out
Gimme a break
Straighten out ... if you can
I heard you knockin' but you couldn't come in
And we went walkin' down the road to the bin
That was when you were ten, now is now, then was then
Ha ha ha.
Well I telephoned you and I asked if I might just happen to be your chaperone
To the Highbridge comin'-out do
You said goodbye and I began to cry
I said boo hoo hoo
'Cause your leavin' was shakin' me up
Wah wah wah.
I think you better straighten out.
The lyrics STRAIGHTEN OUT of THE GUESS WHO is also present in the album Road food (1974)
The Guess Who è una leggendaria band rock canadese formatasi a Winnipeg, Manitoba, nel 1968. Considerati uno dei primi gruppi rock canadesi a raggiungere il successo internazionale pur rimanendo in patria, hanno segnato un'epoca nella musica del loro paese. Prodotti inizialmente da Jack Richardson, sono stati i primi ad ottenere la vetta della classifica americana con un brano rock canadese. Il gruppo ha attraversato diverse fasi e cambi di formazione nel corso degli anni, ma il suo sound distintivo, caratterizzato da riff bluesy, melodie orecchiabili e testi introspettivi, è rimasto costante. Tra i loro brani più famosi si ricordano "American Woman", "These Eyes" e "Clap for the Wolfman". L'album "American Woman" del 1970 ha raggiunto il successo internazionale, consolidando la posizione della band come una delle più influenti del rock canadese.
