School Days Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Up in the mornin', out to school
The teacher is teachin' the golden rule
American history, practical maths
You're studyin' hard and you're hopin' to pass
Ooh, you're workin' your finger right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone
"Ring, ring", goes the bell
The cook in the kitchen's ready to sell
But you're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you get time to eat
Well, back in the classroom, open your books
Ooh, the teacher don't know how mean she looks

[Chorus]
Hail, hail rock and roll
Hail, hail rock and roll
Hail, hail rock and roll
Hail, hail rock and roll
Hail, hail rock and roll
Hail, hail rock and roll

[Guitar Solo]

[Verse 2]
As soon as three o'clock rolls around
And you 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 been
You find a juke joint, you go in
You drop the coin right into the slot
You gonna have somethin' that's really hot (Like me, girl)
With the one you love, you're makin' romance
All day long, been wantin' to dance
And you feel the music from head to toe
It's round, and round, and round we go (Get on now)
[Chorus]
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock and roll
Long live rock and roll, hey

[Guitar Solo]

[Chorus]
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll, come on
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll
Rock, rock, rock and roll

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
