Dont seem to be no break in the line dont seem to be no break boys
They ruined my vision screwed up my eyes
Ill tell you what Im gonna do boys
Im going back to schooldays Im going back to schooldays
Im going back to schooldays to put them right
They tell me that it was like a film out here
But its a real horror show boys
They told me that it was all black and white
Theres so many shades I can see boys
Im going back to schooldays Im going back to schooldays
Im going back to schooldays to put them right
Aint nobody wants to know you when youre down
And everybody wants to lose you when youre found.
Now if I think I might break even I might go home quietly
Ill marry a rich girl but otherwise
Im going to raise hell and rightly.
Im going back to schooldays Im going back to schooldays
Im going back to schooldays to put them right
(instrumental verse with comments)
Shake it! whew! yeah! thats all right!
Now if I seem just a might confused, dont give me all of the blame boys
24 years just obeying the rules, no wonder Im half-insane boys.
Im going back to schooldays Im going back to schooldays
Im going back to schooldays to put them right
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah
Im going back to schooldays Im a-going back to schooldays
Im going back to schooldays to put them right
Im going back to schooldays Im a-going back to schooldays
Im going back to schooldays to put them right
(fade on) to put them right yeah! to put them right huh!
