School Day (Ring Ring Goes the Bell) [1967 Version]

Up in the morning and out to school

The teacher is teaching the golden rule

American history and practical math

You study so 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 lunchroom's 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

Soon as three o'clock rolls around

You finally lay your burden down

Close up your books, get out of your seat

Down the halls and into the street

Up to the corner and round the bend

Right to the jukebox, you go in

Drop the coin right into the slot

You've gotta hear something that's really hot

With the one you love, you're making romance

All day long, you been wanting to dance

Feeling the music from head to toe

Round and round and round and round and round and round and round and round you go

Go, go

Hail, hail rock 'n' roll

Deliver me from the days of old

Long live rock 'n' roll

The beat of the drum is loud and bold

Rock, rock, rock 'n' roll

The feeling is there, body and soul
