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
