School Days

Up in the morning and out to school The teacher is teaching the golden rule American history and practical maths [you] studyin' hard and hoping to pass Working your fingers right down to the bone And the guy behind you won't leave you alone Ring ring goes the bell The cook in the lunch room is ready to sell [kitchen's ready to sell] [but] you're lucky if you can find a seat You're fortunate if you have time to eat [well] back in the classroom open your books Gee but the teacher don't know how mean she looks Hail hail rock 'n' roll [as] soon as 3 o'clock rolls aroun' You finally lay your burden down Throw down your books and out of your seat You go down the hallway, into the street And you're tryin' to forget just where you've been You find a juke joint, you go in Drop the quarter into the slot You gotta hear something that's really hot With the one you love you're makin' romance All day long you've been wanting to dance Feeling the music from head to toe Round and round and round you go Long live rock 'n' roll Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll
