Hookey Hookey
Oh how we love to play
Hookey Hookey
There'll be no school today.
Our lesson kept us guessin'
that's why we ran away,
say mother, father,
wants us to go to school
but we'd rather be in a swimming pool
when the sun is in the sky,
that is just the reason why
we've got the

School House Blues
we've got the schoolhouse blues,
tired of reading history,
don't care for geography,
we're gettin' oh so sick of
grammar and arithmetic.
That's why we gave the teacher the sack
and we're never gonna go back,
if she doesn't like it
she can sit on a tack,
we've got the school house blues.

We've got the
