- Up in the morning and out to school
- The teacher is teaching the golden rule
- American history and practical maths
- Study 'em 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
- 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
- Gee but the teacher don't know how mean she looks
- Hail hail rock 'n' roll
- Soon as 3 o'clock rolls aroun'
- You finally lay your burden down
- Close up your books and get out of your seat
- Down the hall 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 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...
(Chuck Berry)
