The Simpsons - School Day lyrics

Back Hail, hail, Rock and Roll
& Long live Rock and Roll
Bart: Rock, Rock, Rock and Roll
Hail, hail, Rock and Roll

Buster: Up in the morning and out to school,
The teacher is teaching the Golden Rule
American history, practical math,
You're studying hard, you're hoping to pass
Working your fingers right down to the bone,
The guy behind you won't leave you alone

Bart: Ring, ring goes the bell,
The truck in the lunchroom is ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat;
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom, open your books, (man),
The teacher don't know how mean she looks

Buster: Soon as three o'clock rolls around,
Bart: I'm outta here, man, I'm going to town
Buster: You finally lay your burden down
Bart: I'm nobody's fool, I'm nobody's clown
Buster: Close up your books, get out of your seat,
Bart: This is a plan that can't be beat
Buster: Down the hall and into the street
Bart: My dancing shoes are on my feet
Buster: Up to the corner, round the bend,
Bart: If you can't handle this, just tell me when!
Buster: Right to the juke joint, you go in
Bart: I'm here! I said, "It's me, Bartman"

Bart Drop the coin right into the slot,
& You've gotta hear something that's really hot
Buster: Don't want your love, your makin' romance,
All day long you've been wanting to dance (Whoa yeah)
I'm feeling the music from head to toe,
Round and round and round you go

(Sax solo)

(Guitar solo)

Bart Hail, hail, Rock and Roll,
& Deliver me from the days of old
Buster: Long live Rock and Roll,
The beat of the drum's loud and bold
Rock, Rock, Rock and Roll,
The feeling is there, body and soul

Hail, hail, Rock and Roll
(Hail, hail, Rock and Roll)
Hail, hail, Rock and Roll
(Hail, hail, Rock and Roll)
Long live Rock and Roll,
(Long live Rock and Roll)
Rock, Rock, Rock and Roll
(Rock, Rock, Rock and Roll)
Rock, Rock, Rock and Roll
(Rock, Rock, Rock and Roll)
Hail, hail, Rock and Roll
(Hail, hail, Rock and Roll)

(Whoa, mama!)

(Guitar solo fadeout)
