Our take on Chuck Berry's track with one of our favorite lines, "Hail hail rock-n-roll!"

lyrics

Up in the morning and back to school.
The teacher's are teaching the golden rule.
American history and practical math.
You're studying hard hoping to pass.
Working your fingers right down to the bone.
The guy behind you won't leave you alone.
Ring ring goes the bell.
The cook in the lunchroom's 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.
You can bet the teacher don't know how mean he looks.
Soon as three o'clock rolls around,
you finally lay your burden down.
Up the the corner and round the bend.
Right to the juke joint you go in.
Drop the coin right into the slot.
You've got to hear something really hot.
With the one you love you're making romance.
All day long you've been wanting to dance.
Feeling the music from head to toe.
Round and round and round we go.
Hail hail rock and roll, music that saved my imortal soul.
Long live rock and roll, deliver me from the days of old.
Hail hail rock and roll.
