School Days 1895 'The Grip'

Dr. Pitt-Payne in London UK - 28 Dec 2003

Oh, summer is here, comrades so dear,
we part for a resting spell;
School days are done so, now then for fun,
Vacation we love as well...

School days! School days!
Children engage in the strife;
for knowledge so bright
that gives a clear light
to guide them with safety through life.
School days! School days!
Full of loved mem'ries and fun.
Thou comrades so dear,
cheer now, oh cheer!
Vacation, vacation has come!

Our lessons are o'er, pleasures we store,
and gladness awaits us home;
Friendship we keep so lasting and deep
whenever we chose to roam...

School days! School days!
Children engage in the strife;
for knowledge so bright
that gives a clear light
to guide them with safety through life.
School days! School days!
Full of loved mem'ries and fun.
Thou comrades so dear,
cheer now, oh cheer!
Vacation, vacation has come!

Oh, cheerful we'll be, joyous and free,
while strolling where birdies call;
Through sunny vales, and soft, shady dales,
so happy we scholars are...

School days! School days!
Children engage in the strife;
for knowledge so bright
that gives a clear light
to guide them with safety through life.
School days! School days!
Full of loved mem'ries and fun.
Thou comrades so dear,
cheer now, oh cheer!
Vacation, vacation has come!
