School Days

School days, school days (school days)
 Dear ole golden rule days
 (Reading) reading, (writing) writing and (arithmetic) 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 oh yeah
 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
 Oh, ain't you glad you made it
 Oh, oh, ain't you glad you made it now
 Oh, ain't you glad you made it (no)
 Ain't you glad you made it now, oh, oh, oh, oh
 Ain't you glad you made it
 Ain't you glad you made it, oh, oh, oh, yeah
 Ain't you glad you made it, oh, oh
 Ain't you glad you made it, oh
 Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
 Ain't you glad you made it, yeah, yeah
 Ain't you glad you made it, oh yeah
 Ain't you glad you made it now, oh
 Ain't you glad you made it
 Ain't you glad you made it now
