lyrics

Amy’s wearing that pink sweater
The one that used to look so much better
To me but that was before
I walked through the door
That sweater was on the floor
For the football captain
She was supposed to just be his math tutor
Yeah, he’s the football captain
But to her, he is so much more
Amy’s wearing that pink sweater
Melting hearts in this autumn weather
I’ve got a secret though I feel no shame
I hope we lose the big game.
I hate the football captain and how he rules the school.
I’m so much smarter than him. Why do I play the fool?
Guess she wants to be more popular
Wish that for me so I can’t blame her
Amy’s wearing that pink sweater
I’ve got to get Amy back
Yes, I’ve got to get Amy back
Can somebody please tell me
How to get Amy to come back to me?
You can try to be next year’s quarterback
I can’t do that. I’d break my neck or back.
You can she is she can be your math tutor.
She knows I know all of my math facts
I don’t mean to be short with you my friends
I appreciate the advice you’re trying to give
But if I don’t get Amy back
I’m not sure if I want to live
I’ve got to get Amy back
To tell her my love is true
But when you’re up against the quarterback
There’s not much that you can do
I don’t know what I’m gonna do to get Amy back
But I’ve got to get her back somehow
Wait a second, wait a second
I know what I’m going to do
I’m going downtown
To my local music store
And I’m gonna lay some money down
On that counter top
And I’m gonna walk out of that store
With an electric guitar
Oh yeah ‘cause
I’m gonna be a rock ‘n’ roller!
Amy, won’t you be my pretty baby?
Don’t say no. Oh no, please don’t, at least say maybe
I’ve got a band now, want to be your man now
Might not be the one to throw touchdown passes
But I write the music that makes them shake their asses
Oh Amy, shake it for me
I say Amy, won’t you please?
Do you like me now?
All you’ve got to do is say one word
Say it right now
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah…
Oh Amy what’s your answer?
Tell this cool rock and roller
Who’s it gonna be
The quarterback or me?
Well, I really like you Michael
But the quarterback
Just gave me his varsity sweater
Sorry
No, no, no, no…
Oh why did you have to leave me Amy?
The saddest part of this story
Is not that I didn’t get Amy
The saddest part of this story is that
Amy doesn’t wear that pink sweater anymore
Instead she wears this varsity sweater
That the quarterback gave her
And every day she wears it she’s getting more popular
Me? Well, I’m now a rock and roller
And I have my rock and roller friends.
Ben’s a rock and roller
Hannah’s a rock and roller
Andrew’s a rock and roller
Hey Isaiah, are you a rock and roller?
Why don’t you show them that you are
Alright, we are Whistle Jacket
Thanks for listening
And thanks to all my bandmates
Also mister quarterback,
It’s ok Amy chose you
Just make sure you treat her right
And don’t break heart
Because that really hurts
I know it does
