School days, school days
Dear old golden rule days
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick

You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
I wrote on your slate, "I dig you so"
When we were just a couple of kids

You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
I wrote on your slate, "I dig you so"
When we were just a couple of kids
Yeah just a swingin' couple of kids
Yeah just a swingin' bunch of kids
