School days, school days Dear ole golden rule days Reading, writing and arithmetic Were taught to the tune of Tight skirts, big socks, pony tails and silk suit sales, now
Those really were the days, we had a lot of fun And I remember that very special one See him walking in the hall when classes would change And I don’t think he ever really knew my name
Ooh boy, school boy, ooh boy, yeah yeah yeah yeah We were stylish and young, second to none Coming on up the right way, yes, those were the days That was the way things in the 50’s were done, now
With my bucks and checker boots I was really steppin’ tough With my fringed suede jacket I was just about tough enough, ya’ll But I couldn’t get this guy to even look my way Wonder what he looks like right now to this very day
Ooh boy, school boy, ooh boy, yeah yeah yeah yeah We were stylish and young, second to none Coming on up the right way, yes, those were the days That was the way things in the 50’s were done, now
Art was my favorite class and I had to get a pass To fool around in the hall, he was so cute and tall I loved to race to lunch and science was more’n a hunch Sure loved to go to gym, loved it when I saw him
We were stylish and young, second to none Coming on up the right way, yes, those were the days That was the way things in the 50’s were done, now
Remember those big hoop skirts and petticoats That we wore in the summer, guess that’s what I wore the most And remember when you’d sit they’d fly up in the air And you’d have to hold them down while sitting in your chair
Hoop skirts, petticoats, dirty sneakers And blue jeans were cheaper We were stylish and young, second to none Coming on up the right way, yes, those were the days That was the way things in the 50’s were done, now We were stylish and young, second to none Coming on up the right way, yes, those were the days That was the way things in the 50’s were done, now We were stylish and young, second to none Coming on, coming on, coming on, yes, those were the days That was the way things in the 50’s were done, now
