School days

School days


Dear old golden rule days




Up in the morning and out to school


The teacher is teachin' the golden rule


American history and practical math

Studyin' hard and hopin' to pass


And workin' your fingers right down the bone


The guy behind you won't leave you alone




Ring ring goes the bell


The cook in the lunchroom ready to sell

You're lucky if you can find a seat


You're fortunate if you have time to eat


Back in the classroom open your books

The teacher don't know how mean she looks





Ha ha ha ha ha

Are you ready?





Soon as three o'clock rolls around

You finally lay your burden down


Throw down your books get out of your seat


And down the halls and into the street

Up to the corner and 'round the bend


Right to the juke joint you go in




Drop the coin right into the slot


You gotta hear somethin' that's really hot


With the one you love you're makin' romance

And all day long you've been wantin' to dance


Feelin' the music from head to toe


And round and round and round you go




Hail hail rock and roll


Deliver me from the days of old

Long live rock and roll


The beat of the drums loud and bold

Rock rock rock and roll


The feelin' is there, body and soul
