Barenaked Ladies (often abbreviated BNL) is a Canadian alternative rock band currently composed of Jim Creeggan, Kevin Hearn, Ed Robertson, and Tyler Stewart, formerly featuring Andy Creeggan and Steven Page. Page left the band amicably in February 2009 to pursue solo projects, and March 7th, 2009 saw the band's first show on stage as a foursome in Orlando, Florida. Tyler Stewart proudly emblazoned his drum-set with a "Fantastic 4" logo. In March 2010, they released 'All In Good Time', their first post-Page studio album.

[Intro] BABA x2
[First Verse] B (strum once, fast) I found my locker and I found my classes B (strum once, fast) Lost my lunch and I broke my glasses, B (strum once, fast) That guy is huge! that girl is wailing! F#E First day of school and I’m already failing.
[Chorus] BABA This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine BABA This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
[2nd Verse] BA I’ve got a blue and red adidas bag and a humongous binder, BA I’m trying my best not to look like a minor niner. BA I went out for the football team to prove that I’m a man F#E I guess I shouldn’t tell them that I like duran duran.
[Chorus] BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
[3rd Verse] BA Well, half my friends are crazy and the others are depressed BA and none of them can help me study for my math test. BA I got into the classroom and my knowledge was gone; F#E I guess I should've studied instead of watching Wrath Of Khan.
[Chorus] BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
[1st Bridge] B (throughout bridge) They called me chicken legs, they called me four-eyes they called me fatso, they called me buckwheat, they called me Eddie
[Chorus] BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
[4th Verse] BA I've got a red leather tie and pair of rugger pants, BA I put them on and I went to the high school dance. BA Dad said I had to be home by eleven - F#E aw, man, I'm gonna miss Stairway to Heaven.
[Chorus] BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine BAB This is me in grade nine, baby, this is me in grade nine
