B                    B7
Some people live the life that was given
E                    Em
Some people just get by
B                         B7
Some people never learned how to be driven
E                      D#7
Some people don’t even try
    E                           D#7
But some people know what their heart desires
G#m                     B7
Some people lead with a passionate fire
    E                             D#7
And some people know that they’rе destined
   B7
To fly


[Chorus]
        B
I’ll go all out

Ace еvery test
B7
No doubt

Outdo all the rest
E
Don’t pout
                     Em
Or settle for second best
     B
So I won’t stop

And won’t lose my cool
B7
Don’t flop

‘Cause Harvard’s no fool
           E
And who’ll love me
                         Em
If I’m not the top of my school?


[Ensemble]
B
She’s the top (She’s the top)
B7
She’s the top (She’s the top)
E
She’s the top (She’s the)
Em
Top of our
Em
Top of our school


[Verse 2]
B                         B7
Maybe my friends will say I’m overzealous
E               Em
Maybe I try too hard (Maybe she tries too hard)
B                          B7
Maybe they’ll just have to learn to be jealous
E                        Em
Watching me shine like a star
       E                    D#7
‘Cause maybe I know what my heart desires
G#m                    B7
Maybe I’ll lead with a passionate fire
       E                    D#7
‘Cause baby I know that I’m destined
   G#m   B
To fly


[Bridge]
         B
But if I hadn’t earned a dollar
               Baug
What would you think of your dear daughter?
            G#m7
Would it be pity or dishonor
   Em
To ensue?
         B
And if I failed to earn blue ribbon
            Baug
How could I ever be forgiven?
             G#m7
Tell me what love would still be given
     Em
From you


[Chorus]
        B
I’ll go all out

Ace every test
B7
No doubt

Outdo all the rest
E
Don’t pout
                     Em
Or settle for second best
     B
So I won’t stop

And won’t lose my cool
B7
Don’t flop

‘Cause Harvard’s no fool
           E
And who’ll love me
                         Em
If I’m not the top of my school?
