Lyric Domino College

By: Jimmy Buffett, Dan Fogelberg
1986
Found myself a matchbook
Beside some hotel bed
Opened it up and looked inside
And this is what it said

Chorus:
Get on back to school
Domino college, back to school
Boneyard full of knowledge
W-w-w-orking vacation in a third world nation
Back to school (going back to school, going back, back to school)

Fly down to Miami
Get yourself a boat
Fill it full of suntan oil
And rent yourself a goat

Ain t no registration
Ain t no student loan
You may not learn to read or write
But you will surely learn to roll dem bones

Chorus:
Get on back to school
Domino college, back to school
Boneyard full of knowledge
W-w-w-orking vacation in a third world nation
Back to school (going back to school, going back, back to school)

They don t rap your knuckles
If you cut the class
They just track you through the jungle boy
Then they kick your ass

It s a different kind of domino theory
They teach you down in Butler town
If you lose you buy the booze
And then the student body all falls down

Chorus:
They can t get back to school
Domino college, back to school
Fountain of knowledge
W-w-w-orking vacation in a third world nation
Back to school (going back, back to school)
Get on back

Make your parents hate you
Be a big disgrace
Act just like a domino
And fall on your face

Chorus:
You can t get back to school
Domino college, back to school
Fountain of knowledge
There ain t no graduation from this kind of education
Back to school (going back, back to school)
W-w-w-orking vacation in a third world nation
Back to school (going back, back to school)

Be true to your school

-- Spoken:
"Oh, Jan & Dean be true to your school. Big six, big six, whose got it? Goddamn Robert when you gonna play man, hey man, say, you know whose turn it is."

Coda:
Back to school (going back to school) repeat and fade
