[Verse 1]
N.C. G
Up in the mornin' and out to school,The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule,
C American history and practical math, G You study 'em hard and hopin' to pass. D Workin' your fingers right down to the bone, D7 G And the guy behind you won't leave you alone.
[Verse 2]
N.C. G
Ring, ring goes the bell.The cook in the lunch room's ready to sell.
C You're lucky if you can find a seat, G You're fortunate if you have time to eat. D Back in the classroom, open your books, D7 G Gee, but the teacher don't know how mean she looks.
[Verse 3]
N.C. G
Soon as three o'clock rolls around,You finally lay your burden down.
C Close up your books, get out of your seat, G Down the halls and into the street. D Up to the corner and 'round the bend, D7 G Right to the juke joint, you go in.
[Verse 4]
N.C. G
Drop the coin right into the slot,You've gotta hear somethin' that's really hot.
C With the one you love, you're makin' romance, G All day long you been wantin' to dance, D Feeling the music from head to toe, D7 G Round and round and round you go.
