Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Down around the corner in a little school
Children learn their lessons and The Golden Rule
'Cause they got a teacher up from Basin Street
And she does her teachin' with a boogie beat
Teachin' the ABCs with rhythm and ease
[Verse 2]
Every single morning it's the same old thing
All the kids are waitin' for the bell to ring
When they hear it ringin' they all jump in line
Walk into the classroom feelin' mighty fine
They'll learn their ABCs with rhythm and ease
[Verse 3]
Well, reading, writing, arithmetic taught to the tune of a licorice stick
No education is ever complete without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat
Well, alright
[Verse 4]
And when the day is over and it's time to go
The children get their books and stand right at the door
Teacher is so happy 'cause she's done her bit
To educate the kids and make them really fit
To say their ABCs with rhythm and ease
[Verse 5]
Well, reading, writing, arithmetic taught to the tune of a licorice stick
No education is ever complete without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat
Well, alright
[Verse 6]
And when the day is over and it's time to go
The children get their books and stand right at the door
Teacher is so happy 'cause she's done her bit
To educate the kids and make them really fit
To say their ABCs with rhythm and ease
