Some people live the life that was given
Some people just get by
Some people never learned how to be driven
Some people don't even try
But some people know what their heart desires
Some people lead with a passionate fire
And some people know that they're destined
To fly
I'll go all out, ace every test

I’ll go all out, ace every test
No doubt, outdo all the rest
Don't pout or settle for second best
So I won't stop, and won't lose my cool
Don't flop 'cause Harvard’s no fool
And who'll love me
If I'm not the top of my school

She's the top (she’s the top)
She's the top (she's the top)
She’s the top (she’s the)
Top of our top of our school

Maybe my friends will say I'm overzealous
Maybe I try too hard (maybe she tries too hard)
Maybe they’ll just have to learn to be jealous
Watching me shine like a star
'Cause maybe I know what my heart desires
Maybe I’ll lead with a passionate fire
'Cause baby, I know that I'm destined
To fly

But if I hadn't earned a dollar
What would you think of your dear daughter
Would it be pity or dishonour
To ensue
And if I failed to earn blue ribbon
How could I ever be forgiven
Tell me what love would still be given
From you

I'll go all out, ace every test
No doubt, outdo all the rest
Don't pout or settle for second best
So I won't stop, and won't lose my cool
Don't flop 'cause Harvard’s no fool
And who'll love me
If I'm not the top of my school
