Let's take a trip on mem - o - ry's ship, back to the by - gone days,________ Sail to the old vil - lage school house; an-chor out - side the school door.___ Look in and see; there's you and me; a cou-ple of kids once more._____ [Chorus] School days, school days; dear old gold - en rule days, Read-in' and 'rit - in and 'rith - me - tic; taught to the tune of a hick - 'ry stick, You were my queen in cal - i - co; I was your bash - ful bare - foot beau. And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, so," when we were a cou-ple of kids._____ Second Verse 'Mem-ber the hill, Nel-lie Dar - ling; and the oak tree that grew on its brow?____ They've built for-ty sto-ries up - on that old hill, and the oak's an old chest - nut now,_____ 'Mem-ber the mea-dows so green, dear; so fra-grant with clo-ver and maize?___ In-to new cit-y lots and pre-ferred bus'-ness plots, they've cut them up since those days.____ [Chorus] School days, school days; dear old gold - en rule days, Read-in' and 'rit - in and 'rith - me - tic; taught to the tune of a hick - 'ry stick, You were my queen in cal - i - co; I was your bash - ful bare - foot beau.
