Story Behind The Song

Please see above.

Song Description

Verse one introduces us to Lucy, the rebellious schoolgirl who doesn't fit in with the other girls at school who only care about doing their hair and make-up - Lucy's one passion is electronic music and she loves listening to it. She is "Too Cool For School". Verse 2 then introduces us to Mr Cook, a math teacher at Lucy's school who doesn't really like his job so he lives for the weekend and goes out every weekend. Friday night finds him in a club and he gets the shock of his life when he sees one of his pupils in a nightclub! The final verse sees them both seeing each other and realising they could both be in trouble! Lucy is only sixteen and shouldn't be in a club...and Mr Cooke is very intoxicated too and it would be bad for his reputation. They both decided to keep it their secret and to keep on dancing, their love of electronic music has forged a new friendship!

Lyrics

All teen schoolgirls have a secret,
This is Lucy's - can you keep it?
She ain't like all the other girls,
With their lipstick on and their hair all curled.
Comes to college in a cut-off skirt
Stripey socks, unbuttoned shirt
Sittin' in class with her i-pod on,
Foot tappin' in time to a 4/4 song.
She goes struttin' down the street
Head is nodding to electric beats
A dirty synth, a crisp hi-hat
A supertight kick and an 80's clap.

"I don't need no education
An electric beat is my salvation
Lead us all into temptation
Music is my recreation"

You're too cool baby, you're way too cool
You're too cool lady, you're way to cool for school
(Yeah you are)
You're too cool baby, you're way too cool
You're too cool lady, you're way to cool for school
(Yeah you are)

Mr Cook was a teacher and he chose math
But time it dragged through every class
Wishin' and waitin' for the day to end
Holdin' on till he hits the weekend.
Straight to a bar with some mates in town
No longer "sir" he plans to get down.
He likes his women fit and flirty
And his house beats dark and dirty.
Friday night and he's out to dance,
Loose himself in a heightened trance
Dancin' to the beats and lovin' the sub
When he clocks a schoolgirl in the club!

"Kids don't need no education
An electric beat is their salvation
Lead us all into temptation
Music is my recreation"

You're too cool baby, you're way too cool
You're too cool lady, you're way to cool for school
(Yeah you are)
You're too cool baby, you're way too cool
You're too cool lady, you're way to cool for school
(Yeah you are)

There is Lucy lovin' the music
As the club goes off she's about to loose it
Then Mr Cook catches her eye
It's hard to say who was more surprised!
Just sixteen, clubbing on her own
Now she's busted, cover blown.
But the teacher dude is also in trouble
Off his face and seeing double
So they make a pact to never tell
Get back to dancin' - they might as well
New found friends united in sin
Sharing water as the heat kicks in

"We don't need no education
An electric beat is our salvation
Lead us all into temptation
Music is my recreation"

Too cool for school
Too cool for school
You're too for school
Your'e way to cool for school lady

You're too cool baby, you're way too cool
You're too cool lady, you're way to cool
You're too cool baby, you're way too cool
You're too cool lady, you're way to cool for school

Too cool for school
Too cool for school
You're too for school
Your'e way to cool for school lady x 2

You're too cool baby, you're way too cool
You're too cool lady, you're way to cool for school
(Yeah you are)
You're too cool baby, you're way too cool
You're too cool lady, you're way to cool for school
(Yeah you are)
