I study nuclear science
I love my classes
I got a crazy teacher, he wears dark glasses
Things are going great, and they're only getting better…

Well you're a real tough cookie with a long history
Of breaking little hearts like the one in me
That's okay, let's see how you do it
Put up you dukes, let's get down to it

And the gardens of Japan
From Milan to Yucatan

Currently watching the film that had this song-

You know I love you
I always will
My minds made up

Honeyroar · 09/08/2020 22:25

Correct with the Captain!

VictoriousSockPuppet · 09/08/2020 22:25

Omg, that's so random that two people put up lyric to the same song at the same time. 🤣

Coffee, do you mean just a normal Monday or that you're being unfurloughed?
Good luck either way

Meet me in the crowd, people, people
Throw your live around, love me, love me

😆

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/08/2020 22:26

For coffee

And she's always gone too long
Any time she goes away

70s

You gotta have a dream
If you don't have a dream
How you gonna have a dream come true?

An old song that was an unexpected no 1 in the 80s

If I should call you up, invest a dime
And you say you belong to.me and ease my mind
Imagine how the world could be, so very fine

60s

VictoriousSockPuppet · 09/08/2020 22:34

Ooo, yes
I remember... scotland, school.

Good luck, coffee 🤞💋

CoffeeBeansGalore · 09/08/2020 22:34

We're not small, but you are tall
Do you wear your caps in bed?
Yes, our caps stay on our head
Do you go to sleep till dawn?
Yes, but first two times we yawn
1970s
