Lyrics & Translation

[English]

(sighs, clicks tongue)

Not me, but not bad.

I would say "A" for effort,

but... that's an "F."

What? How bad is it?

You got a "B."

Are you kidding?

I don't believe it.

Me, neither.

Me, neither.

(whistle blows)

So, I guess I have to rethink my abilities.

Clearly, I'm a wonderful teacher.

Georgie didn't pass because of you.

What do you mean?

He cheated.

He had the answers written on the bottom of his shoe.

He wouldn't do that.

When you cheat in school, you only cheat yourself.

Where'd you get that?

An inspirational poster outside the boys' room.

I saw what I saw, Sheldon.

Well, if this is true,

he needs to turn himself in.

That'll never happen. He'll get kicked off the team.

I'm sorry, I can't accept this.

There must be another explanation.

If you don't believe me, look at his shoes.

I will.

(grunting quietly)

♪

This is quite a workout.

♪

(whispers): You dirty bird.

What are you doing in here?

You cheated.

No, I didn't.

I'm holding the evidence.

Let me see that.

(spits)

I don't see nothin'.

(gasps): That's obstruction of justice,

as well as disgusting.

Oh, relax. By passing that test, I get to play football,

and you get to go to the train store.

Everybody wins.

But what about the truth?

What about it?

It's supposed to set us free.

Who told you that?

The Bible.

Since when do you care about what's in the Bible?

When it helps me win an argument.

The Bible also says honor thy father and thy mother.

And if you open your mouth, you're gonna make them sad.

ADULT SHELDON: He had me.

Somehow, the mullet-headed simpleton had me.

This isn't over.

Oh, yeah? What are you gonna do?

All right, maybe it's over.

• He had the answers written on the bottom of his shoe.

  ➔ Past perfect + past participle (passive)

  ➔ The auxiliary "had" + past participle "written" forms a passive past perfect construction.

• I would say "A" for effort, but... that's an "F".

  ➔ Modal verb "would" for hypothetical situation

  ➔ The modal "would" expresses a tentative opinion: "I "would say"...".

• He wouldn't do that.

  ➔ "turn" + "himself" + "in" forms the phrasal verb meaning "surrender": "needs to "turn himself in"."

• The Bible also says honor thy father and thy mother.

  ➔ Third‑person singular simple present with imperative style

  ➔ "can't" (= cannot) is a modal that directly precedes the bare infinitive "accept".
