The Lyrics
The greatest event in calendar history.
Sing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That schoolroom is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That schoolroom is bound to get you,
Schoolroom... schoolroom… schoolroom… schoolroom… schoolroom…. mmm...
(female vocal)
Back to School,
Bring all the kids right back to the classroom,
Back to School,
Pencils & pens, will keep the kids learning,
One, two, three,
Children through the nation, (dee-de-oh!)
Shopping sprees,
Have the stuff that get all the kids on their feet,
Back to School,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Back to School,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
Oh, you’ll catch on at once,
Well, teach those kids history,
Let’s go back to school!
(vocal trio)
Back to School,
Bring all the kids right back to the classroom,
Back to School,
Pencils & pens, will keep the kids learning,
One, two, three,
Children through the nation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
Shopping sprees,
Have the stuff that get all the kids on their feet,
Back to School,
Once you begin, you have to give in to
Back to School,
Get on your toes, ‘cause everyone knows that
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Teach those kids history,
Let’s go back to school, whoa!
Back to School,
(instrumental call-back)
Back to School,
(instrumental call-back)
One, two, three,
Children through the nation, (doo-doo-do-doo!)
Shopping sprees,
Have the stuff that get all the kids on their feet,
Back to School,
(instrumental call-back)
Back to School,
(instrumental call-back)
If you’re not a dunce,
You’ll catch on at once,
Teach those kids history,
Let’s go back to school, whoa!
Simple as the day is long!
Then, you’ll swing, (Start in to sing, you’ll have to swing,)
That schoolroom is bound to get you,
Oh, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
Don’t go slow, (Turn on the heat, then beat your feet,)
That schoolroom is bound to get you,
Schoolroom... schoolroom… schoolroom… schoolroom… schoolroom…. mmm...
