School Days

Up in the morning and out to school
The teacher is teaching that golden rule
American history and practical math
If you study 'em hard then maybe you'll pass
You work your fingers right down to the bone
The guy behind you won't leave you alone

Ring, ring goes that bell
The kids in the lunchroom is ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if ya have time to eat
Back in the classroom and open your books
Woo! The teacher don't know how mean she looks

Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You can finally let your burdens down
Close up your books get out of your seat
Run down the hall and into the street

Up to the corner and around that bend
Rock to the good joint band
Drop that coin right into the slot
Whoa, you gotta hear something that's hot

With the one you love, you're making romance
Brought home the one who wanted to dance
You feel that music right down to your toes
Round, round, round, round you go

Hear, rock and roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Yeah, long live rock and roll
The beat of the drums, night and day
Rock, rock, rock, rock, rock and roll!
