Bill Haley - A.B.C. Boogie

Down around the corner in a little school Children learn their lessons and the golden rule 'Cause they got a teacher up from Basin Street And she does her teaching with a boogie beat Teachin' the ABC with rhythm and ease Every single morning, it's the same old thing All the kids are waiting for the bell to ring When they hear it ringing, they all jump in line Walking to the classroom, feeling mighty fine They learn their ABC with rhythm and ease Well, a-reading, writing, arithmetic Taught to the tune of a liquorice stick No education is ever complete Without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat, well all reet When the day is over and it's time to go The children get their books and stand right at the door Teacher is so happy, because she's done her bit To educate the kids and make 'em really fit To say their ABC with rhythm and ease Well, a-reading, writing, arithmetic Taught to the tune of a liquorice stick No education is ever complete Without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat, well all reet When the day is over and it's time to go The children get their books and stand right at the door Teacher is so happy, because she's done her bit To educate the kids and make 'em really fit To say their ABC with rhythm and ease
