School Days - 1976

The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule
American history and practical math
You’re studyin' hard and hopin' to pass
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone

Long live rock and roll
The beat of the drum is loud and bold
Rock, rock, rock and roll
The feelin' is there, body and soul.
