[Spoken]
E
Hi, this is the big O, Otis Redding
E
I was just standing here thinking about you
E
Thought I'd write a song about you
E
And dedicate it to you
E
Take a listen:
[Verse]
E
If you didn't go back to school this year
A
You're really not groovy
B
Maybe you feel that school is a drag
E
It just don't move ya
E A
But did you ever think about how square you look standing
B E
In an employment line because school didn't interest you
E
You really ought to think about it
E A
Without an education you could only be a tramp
B E
Brogan shoes, no haircut, just plain ol' country
E A
Don't worry 'bout the fellows on the co'ner calling you green
B E
Because you're getting your future condition
E
You really ought to think about it
E A
And further mo' tell them that Otis Redding said you're very wise
B
Because you'll be at the top
E A
When they get there and if they make it
E A
When they get there and if they make it
E A
When they get there and if they make it
E A E
You really ought to think about it
A
Think about it
E A
Really ought to think about it
