A little learning is a dangerous thing lyrics

Hey, Pearl, what's bugging you, girl?

Explain it to me.

One of the real quiz kids.

Usual thought.

Uh huh, like a.

Well, I've had other teachers.

In a pretty frame, huh?

That's pretty obvious.


Look at the size of my ears, pour it on.

Uh huh!

Ain't that the truth.

This kid really came on, I can see that,
'Casue you were much too smart to be afraid at the start.

Well, I'd like to hear some more.

To?

Oh, you mean loot.

Oh, you lost your head, Pearl, completely,
'Cause you were hip to the fact that he would pay you right back.

Uh huh. Yes, with his sweetheart, his so discreet heart.

That cad, ain't no denying, so sense in trying.

Bet you had an encyclopedia.

So I'm happy for you.

You mean you got yourself in hock?

can be a dangerous thing.
Yeah girl that's the kind of stuff you gotta watch out for.

That's right, it shakes you up...
