These lyrics aren't really that difficult to figure out it just takes a
while to write everything down, and it so happens that I did that last
weekend when I was bored, so here they are I attempted to mark the
parts of the verse when he breathes --the end of a line-- in case you
plan to sing it.
I'd like to get a response make sure this did not go in vain--good or
bad. Although the people who used this may not have my request, but
any good Phish tabs other than the ones at Phish archives would be nice
Questions, comments, concerns about my social life

3 important rules for breaking up,
Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
Tell him honestly simply kindly but firnmly
Don't make a big production
Don't make up an elaborate story
Just(?????) to help you avoid a tearjerking scene
If you want to date other people say so
Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
Even if you've gone together for only a short time
and haven't been to serious
There's still a feeling of rejection when someone says she prefers the
company of others to to your exclusive company
But if you're honest and direct and avoid making a flowery(?) emotional
speech when you break the news
The boy will respect you for your frankness
And honestly he'll appreciate the kind of straghtforward manner in
which you told him your decision
Unless he's a real jerk or crybaby you'll remain friends
I'm head of the class, I'm popular
I'm a quarter back, I'm popular
My mom says I'm a catch, I'm popular
I'm never last picked
I got a cheerleading chick
Being attractive is the most important thing there is
If you want to catch the biggest fish in your pond
You have to be as attractive as possible
Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
Wash it at least once every 2 weeks...once every 2 weeks
And if you see Johnny Football in the hall
Tell him he played a great game
Tell him you liked his article in the newspaper
I'm the party star, I'm popular
I've got my own car, I'm popular
I'll never get caught, I'm popular
I make football bets
I'm the teachers pet
I propose we support a 1 month limit on going steady
I think it would keep people more able to deal with wierd situations
and get to know more people
I think if you're ready to go out with Johnny
Now's time to tell him about your 1 month limit
He won't mind
He'll appreciate your fresh look on dating
And once you've dated someone else, you can date him again
I'm sure he'll like it, everyone will appreciate it
You're so novel, what a good idea, you can keep your time to yourself
You don't need date insurance
You can go out with whomever you want to
Every boy, every boy in the whole world could be yours
If you'll just listen to my plan
