After spending time at school ,
soon the teachers thought he knew ,
All the things they talked about and all that they tried to do .
But he learned to use his head
and he saw what he could do .
Then one day , what they tried to say ,
he knew they just weren't true .
Listen , they said to him you've got to learn your ABC ,
You must count on the meanings that are in the dictionary .
Just learn to multiply and also divide and you'll see ,.
For in the end my friend ,
you'll be nobody's fool like me .
But It took more than adding up,
to fix a broken fence .
He learned to put some hard work in
and use his commonsense .
So the teachers said one day ,
we can't teach you anymore .
Thats when he took his school bag
and he walked right out the door .
He took a chance on farming ,
bought a tractor and a truck ,
it wasn't that long umtil the yoing man made his own luck .
He planted in some seeds and ploughed up in another field
In a yearor two he saw what the good earth it can yield .
So what good's a degree
or qualifications for him ,
as he became a millionaire on the back of a whim .
He remembers what the teachers said ,
when he went to school .
But understood his own way .,
for he was nobodys fool .
He counted on his talent
and he made a mighty sum ,
He knew exactly what to do
and smart he had become .
