Down around the corner in a little school

Children learn their lessons and the golden rule

'Cause they got a teacher up from Basin Street

And she does her teaching with a boogie beat

Teachin' the ABC with rhtyhtm and E

Every single morning, it's the same old thing

All the kids are waiting for the bell to ring

When they hear it ringing, they all jump in line

Walking to the classroom, feeling mighty fine

They learn their ABC with rhtyhm and E

Well, a-reading, writing, arithmetic

Taught to the tune of a liquorice stick

No education is ever complete

Without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat, well all reet

When the day is over and it's time to go

The children get their books and stand right at the door

Teacher is so happy, because she's done her bit

To educate the kids and make 'em really fit

To say their ABC with rhtyhm and E
