[MEN]
There's a girl—Liza Elliott
We all knew her
We went to high school together
We graduated with her
[BOY, spoken]
She was cheerleader in the third year.

Mapleton High, Mapleton High
For you we will do and for you we will die!
Rah! Rah! Rah!
[GIRL 1]
I remember Liza well
We read "Les Miserables" in her room on rainy days
And "A Tale of Two Cities" too
[GIRL 2, spoken]
I liked her a lot!
[GIRL 3, spoken]
I thought she was stuck up.
[BOY 1]
I remember the house she used to live in
And the tree in the garden where she used to swing
[BOY 2]
I might as well tell it now
On graduation day when Liza delivered the Valedictory
I asked her if she'd wait for me
She smiled
She didn't take me seriously
[GIRL 1, spoken]
I never quite understood her. She had a pretty voice, though.
