 These lyrics aren't really that difficult to figure out it just takes a
 while to write everything down, and it so happens  that I did that last
 weekend when I was bored, so here they are I attempted to mark the
 parts of the verse when he breathes --the end of a line-- in case you
 plan to sing it.
 
 I'd like to get a response make sure this did not go in vain--good or
 bad.  Although the people who used this may not have my request, but
 any good Phish tabs other than the ones at Phish archives would be nice
 
                   Questions, comments, concerns about my social life

 3 important rules for breaking up,
 Don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
 Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
 Tell him honestly simply kindly but firnmly
 Don't make a big production
 Don't make up an elaborate story
 Just(?????) to help you avoid a tearjerking scene
 If you want to date other people say so
 Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
 Even if you've gone together for only a short time 
     and haven't been to serious
 There's still a feeling of rejection when someone says she prefers the 
     company of others to to your exclusive company
 But if you're honest and direct and avoid making a flowery(?) emotional
     speech when you break the news
 The boy will respect you for your frankness
 And honestly he'll appreciate the kind of straghtforward manner in     
     which you told him your decision
 Unless he's a real jerk or crybaby you'll remain friends
 
 
 I'm head of the class, I'm popular
 I'm a quarter back, I'm popular
 My mom says I'm a catch, I'm popular
 I'm never last picked
 I got a cheerleading chick
 
 
 Being attractive is the most important thing there is
 If you want to catch the biggest fish in your pond
 You have to be as attractive as possible
 Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
 Wash it at least once every 2 weeks...once every 2 weeks
 And if you see Johnny Football in the hall
 Tell him he played a great game
 Tell him you liked his article in the newspaper
 
 
 I'm the party star, I'm popular
 I've got my own car, I'm popular
 I'll never get caught, I'm popular
 I make football bets
 I'm the teachers pet
 
 
 I propose we support a 1 month limit on going steady
 I think it would keep people more able to deal with wierd situations
 and get to know more people
 I think if you're ready to go out with Johnny
 Now's time to tell him about your 1 month limit
 He won't mind
 He'll appreciate your fresh look on dating
 And once you've dated someone else, you can date him again
 I'm sure he'll like it, everyone will appreciate it
 You're so novel, what a good idea, you can keep your time to yourself
 You don't need date insurance
 You can go out with whomever you want to
 Every boy, every boy in the whole world could be yours
 If you'll just listen to my plan
 THE TEENAGE GUIDE TO POPULARITY
