School Day

Up in the morning and out to school.

The teacher is teaching the golden rule.

American History and Practical Math

You're studying hard and hoping to pass.

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, "gettin" ready to sell.

You're lucky if you can find a seat.

Fortunate if you have time to eat.

Back in the classroom you open your books.

The teacher don't know how mean she looks.

Soon as 3 o'clock rolls around.

You finally lay your burden down.

Close up your books, get out of your seat.

Down the hall and into the street.

Up to the corner and around the bend.

Right to the juke joint you go in.

* You drop the coin right into the slot.

You "gotta" hear something that's really hot.

With the one you love you're making romance.

All day long you've been wanting to dance.

You're feeling the music from head to toe.

Round and round and round you go.

(Short instrumental interlude)

* Repeat

Hail, hail rock and roll.

Deliver me from the days of old.

Long live rock and roll.

The beat of the drums is loud and bold.

Rock, rock, rock and roll.

The feeling is there, body and soul.
