Degrassi Lyrics

Degrassi Junior High

Wake up in the morning,
feelin` shy and lonely,
gee, I gotta go to school.
I don`t think I can make it,
don`t think I can take it
I wonder what I`m gonna do.

But then I look around and see
that someone`s smiling right at me,
wait! That someone`s talkin` to me,
hey, I`ve got a new friend!

Everybody can succeed,
all you need is to believe,
be honest with yourself,
forget your fears and doubts,
come on give us a try
at Degrassi Junior High

The Degrassi High Theme Song

Wake up in the morning, gotta shake this feeling,
I gotta face a day of school.
What's to be afraid of ? I can ask a question, or maybe even bend a rule.
I'm looking for a way so I can fit in, if there's a way if I can look, then I can win.
I can see I'm not alone, I can face the unknown.
Everybody can succeed, in themselves, you must believe,
give it a try at Degrassi High.

Degrassi’s Anthem - 2 versions (as published in the 1988/89 DJH School Calendar)
Wake-ups in the morning
Feeling real hung over
Man, I’ve gotta get to work
Don’t think I can make it
Don’t think I can take it
God, this cabbie is a jerk!
Then I look around and see
The producers carefully watching me
Wait! Someone’s yelling at me
Hey! I think I lost my job
We know we can succeed
All we need is real good weed
We’re honest with ourselves
Don’t try to give us help
C’mon give it a try
Get Degrassi Juniors High!
Wake-up in a coma
Way the heck in Coburg
"I’m not going back to school"
"Joey doesn’t like me"
"Paul, he wants my body"
Clutches car is really cool
And when I look around I see
A klepto by the name of Melanie
Hey! Killed rabbits for mascara
Gee! My parents are dead
Everybody can be a stick
Just go make yourself sick
If your brothers really queer
Will your parent’s ever care?
Give Gourmet Scum a try
The Acid will make you fly
