Hey girl, let me carry your schoolbooks
See, I like the way that you look
Come on, let me walk along

So I can protect you from all that is wrong

See, I heard Johnny and Joe talking

About how they were going to make you cry
And they say they're gonna pull your pigtail
And I asked them the reason why

They told me to mind my business
It didn't concern me, they only wanted you
And then I told them that they'd better be careful

'Cause if they bothered you, they'd have to mess with me too

Hey girl, let me carry your schoolbooks

Hey girl, let me walk you home
See, I wanna love and protect you
From all that might do you wrong


Now let me carry your schoolbooks
Let me walk you home

So Johnny and Joe will leave you alone
Let me carry your schoolbooks
I'd like to, so let me, let me carry your schoolbooks

Hey girl! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Uh-huh, yeah
Hey girl, let me carry your schoolbooks

Come on, let me carry your schoolbooks

Hey girl, let me carry your schoolbooks

While I walk you home
So Johnny and Joe will know we got a thing going on
We'll get together tomorrow at lunch time

So I can tell you something that's on my mind
Let's try to do our homework together
'Cause two can solve those problems oh so much better

And one more thing girl, before you go
'Cause I see your mother standing at the door
Tell her don't worry about Johnny and Joe

Now that you've got me, she don't have to worry no more

Hey girl, let me carry your schoolbooks

Hey girl, let me walk you home
Hey girl, let me carry your schoolbooks
