I been a-waitin' in school all day long a-waitin' on the bell to ring so I can go home Throw my books on the table, pick up the telephone "Hello, baby, let's get somethin' goin'"
Headin' down to the drugstore to get a soda pop Throw a nickel in the jukebox, then we start to rock My school gal baby, gonna tell ya some news You sure look good in them baby-doll shoes
Well, it's a-one, two, a-pull off my shoes Three, four, get out on the floor Five, six, come get your kicks Down on the corner of Lincoln and a-forty-six SPOKEN: Yeah!
