School Days

Yeah, up in the morning and off to school

They teach you to be thinking the Golden Rule

American history, practical math

You study them hard and hope you'll pass

You're working your fingers right down to the bone

The guy behind you won't leave you alone

Ring ring goes the bell

They're cooking the lunch that's ready to sell

You're lucky if you can find a seat

You're fortunate if you've got time to eat

You're back in your classroom, open your books

Gee, but the teacher don't know how the buck can beat

Soon as school clock goes around

You finally lay your burden down

Go back your books, get out of your seat

Down the hall and into the street

Up the corner and around the bend

Right to the juke joint you go in

You drop the coin right into the slot

Lord, you got to hit something that's really hot

With the one you love you're making romance

All day long you want to dance

Feeling the music from head to toe

Round and round and round you go and around

Hail, hail rock and roll

Deliver me from the day's toll

Long live rock and roll

The beat of the drum's a-loud and bold

Rock, rock, rock and roll

The feeling is there but it is cold

Let's go, one time

Good evening, thanks for coming to see us

Thank you for coming down

Stay young
