(to the tune of Hey There Delilah)
Verse 1:
C Em
Hey, Mr. Stiles, what's it like in sociology?
C Em Am
I'm a room away, but it seems so much farther to me.
F G Am G
Mr. V. may teach the AP, but you have sociology
C Em
Hey, Mr. Stiles, don't you worry about discussion;
C Em Am
Some of the kids are just plain lazy, but one has a concussion, yea it's true,
F G Am G
But that's not a good enough excuse, not for you.
Chorus:
C Am C Am
Oh it's sociology, oh it's sociology
C Am C Am
Oh it's sociology, oh it's sociology
C
It's sociology.

Verse 2:
C Em
Hey, Mr. Stiles, I know some grades are pretty bad,
C Em Am
But just believe me sir, some day, in May, when we're gone you will feel sad, at least you should,
F G Am
But I guess you'll have another free period
G
And that is good.
C Em
Hey, Mr. Stiles, I've got so much left to say,
C Em Am
But, unfortunately, there's always a wall in the way; we'll tear it down,
F G Am
History class will be full of sound,
G
when we're around.
Chorus:
C Am C Am
Oh it's sociology, oh it's sociology,
C Am C Am
Oh it's sociology, oh it's sociology
Bridge:
F G
A period seems pretty long, but we've got guitars and this song,
C Am
We had some time to kill and so we play.
F G
Our friends may all make fun of us, but we don't care cause they're in class.
C Am
So who gets the last laugh anyway?
F G
We'll sing to you, we'll do our best; we'll sing to you, till you're impressed,
Am G
Unless, of course, it's a test day. Then, we'll go away.
Verse 3:
C Em
Hey, Mr. Stiles, you be good and don't you miss me.
C Em Am
One more year and I'll be done with school, and you'll be teaching history, you know how.
F G Am
College life won't be the same without
G
You. But for now....
Chorus:
C Am C Am
Oh, it's sociology, oh it's sociology
C Am C Am
Oh, it's sociology, oh it's sociology

It's sociology
