"Good Morning Class" -- Don't Bring Me Down (Electric Light Orchestra)

You've got me running, going out of my mind,
You've got me resubmitting all of the time.
Don't grade me down. No, no, no, no, no!
(ooh woo hoo)
I'll tell you once more, it ought to grade "sixty-four",
Don't grade me down.

You wanna make out with your brand new slabs,
I'm telling you, I'm tired of body bags.
Don't grade me down. No, no, no, no, no!
(ooh woo hoo)
I'll tell you once more, it used to grade "sixty-four",
Don't grade me down.

Don't grade me down. Loose!
Don't grade me down, loose?
Don't grade me down. Loose!!!
Don't grade me dooooown.

What happened to the grades I used to know,
You lost your graders somewhere down the road,
Don't grade me down. No, no, no, no, no!
(ooh woo hoo)
I'll tell you once more that it's a lock "sixty-four",
Don't grade me down.

They're always talking that you're grading tight,
One of these days you're gonna get it right.
Don't grade me down. No, no, no, no, no!
(ooh woo hoo)
Submit it once once more, cuz it should grade "sixty-four",
Don't grade me down.

Don't grade me down. Loose!
Don't grade me down, loose?
Don't grade me down. Loose!!!
Don't grade me dooooown.

You're looking good just like a snake in the grass,
These lower grades are gonna kick my as$.
Don't grade me down. No no no no no no no no no!
(ooh woo hoo)
I'll tell you once more, it's gotta grade "sixty-four",
Don't grade me down.

You're undergrading, got me running away,
You've get me resubmitting coins everyday,
Don't grade me down. No, no, no, no, no!
I'll tell you once, it better grade "sixty-four",
Don't bring it down down down down down.

I'll tell you once more, this used to be "sixty-four",
Don't grade me down.........

    Okay, I had to ask- in the original ELO song, what did they say where Karl inserted "loose"? Was it "Bruce"- it always sounded like "Don't bring me down----Bruce".

    Can anyone fill me in?

    I heard Barf Brooks singing this the other day:

    Blame it all on my loupe,
    My coin was poop,
    And ruined my Registry Set.

    Bammed! from the shows,
    It realy blows,
    It was the last one you thought you'd see there.

    And I saw a surprise,
    And the fear in his eyes,
    When I rejected his lowball bid,

    I toasted you,
    Said honey we may be through,
    And you'll forever hear me complain,

    (Chorus)
    'Cause I got friends in low places,
    Where the weasels deal,
    And the collectors squeal,
    But I'll be okay,
    Now I'm not big on social graces,
    eBay's one of my favorite places,
    Oh I got friends,
    In low places.

    I guess I was wrong I just don't belong
    but then I've collected State Quarters before, everything's alright
    I'll just start a fight and I'll flame folks on the board
    Hey I did mean to cause a big scene cause I'm a cute fizzy troll, I think I'm as high as that Ivory Tower and you'll never know,
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    When Jeff Lynne appeared on "Storytellers" he stated that it was in fact "Bruce" in honor of one of the producers or soundboard guys, or something. Whether he has changed his story since then I do not know.
