A Song For Susan Lyrics - Singles - Clifford T Ward

Susan wants to be a secretary 

She has all the necessary requirements 

But since her mom left home, her dad's gone to pieces 

And she has to stay and look after 

Her brothers and sisters and all the housework. 

 

Oh what a waste of education 

Oh what a waste of education 

Oh what a waste of education 

Oh what a waste of education. 

 

She was trying so hard in all her subjects 

And her school report made it clear 

That a little more concentration would make 

All the difference to her work. 

But the subject she needed a little more help in 

Was one that was not in the curriculum 

The subject she needed a little more help in 

Was one that was not on the time-table - 

 

About the art of combining washing and ironing 

And shopping and cooking and such . . . . 

With homework essays, exam revision, punctuality 

Prefect duties, choir practice, and 

Playing for the school netball team. 

 

Oh what a waste of education 

Oh what a waste of education 

Oh what a waste of education 

Oh what a waste of education. 

 

It's such a big responsibility 

When you're only sixteen years old 

And your friends are going out, buying new clothes 

Going to discos, talking boyfriends, 

Sending for college prospectuses.
