Up in the mornin' and out to school
The teacher is teachin' the Golden Rule
American history and practical math
You study' em hard and hopin' to pass
Workin' your fingers right down to the bone
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone
Damn hell, how do I hate that alarm clock! Just now I was having such an exciting dream, about the cowboys movie I saw tonight. I was the sheriff in a small village, and...well, never mind now. I'd better get up, or I'll be late yo school, and I've already had one detention this week, I can't have another one! Anyway, what's the point in studying History or things like that? I do like and enjoy Maths or Chemistry, I don't mind admitting it, and besides they can be useful if I want to have my own garage...but History? I can't see why Doody likes it so much. Holy God, it's about people who lived hundreds of years before! And to make things worse, Bobby Taylor is in my History class, just behind me. I can't bear him! He pretends being funny, but he's as boring as a bunch of sheeps! And well, he was the one to be really blamed for my last detention. And I tried to convince Mr Lean that it hadn't been my fault, and so did Putz, but he just didn't listen. I guess it was because of the fame we have, among the teachers... I can't see the day to end here, sure I won't miss it! No one of us will do, most probably. The only thing I will miss is not seeing the others every day, as we do now, but I know we will keep seeing each other.
Ring ring goes the bell
The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell
You're lucky if you can find a seat
You're fortunate if you have time to eat
Back in the classroom open you books but
Gee but the teacher don't know
How mean she looks
Lunch time at last...I'm starving! I do hope they sell something fine today, no artichokes and hake like yesterday. Hake...it only had been cod, it would have been fine, but hake...and without mayonnaise, to make things worse. And it will be like each day, there will be no way to get a free place. It would be much better to bring something from home, even if it's just a sandwich, and to eat it at the bleachers, as we use to do. It's not the most confortable place, but at least we don't have to bear all those queues. I'll tell the guys, to see what they think. And if the gals wanna come too, it would be great. It's a shame, Frenchy and me only see each other at lunch time... The only one who could refuse to eat at the bleachers would probably be Marty, but if all the others do agree, I hope she finally gives in. Well, let's see what do we have for lunch today...ribs and rice, not too bad. Oh, and there are Marty and Sonny, gotta sit with them and tell them my idea. Wonder where are Frenchy, Putz and Jan... Oh God, that's the bell calling us to class again. And now we have Literature. The subject is fine, but the teacher we have..oh God, she has no idea of teaching! Instead of talking about the books we have to read, she just tells us the writers' life...thank God I'm in the last row and I can sleep from time to time.
Soon as three o'clock rolls around
You finally lay your burden down
Close up your books, get out of your seat
Down the halls and into the street
Up to the corner and 'round the bend
Right to the juke joint you go in
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot
With the one you love you're makin' romance
All day long you been
Wantin' to dance
Feelin' the music from head to toe
'Round and 'round and 'round you go
Drop the coin right into the slot
You gotta hear something that's really hot
With the one you love you're makin' romance
All day long you been
Wantin' to dance
Feelin' the music from head to toe
'Round and 'round and 'round you go
Hail, hail rock'n'roll
Deliver me from the days of old
Long live rock'n'roll
The beat of the drum is loud and bold
Rock rock rock'n'roll
The feelin' is there body and soul
Another borin´school day is through! And today is Friday finally, we have a long weekend waiting for us. Man, I'm looking forward to have high school done and forget about all this, I'm fed up with their rules. And yet, I guess I'll have to think what to do when this is over, I mean, I know I'll have to get a job and all that, but...well, there's plenty of time to take a decision, we're just in January. Now I just intend to enjoy my weekend as much as I can...I talked to Jan before, during lunch break, and asked her to meet me at Mel's drive in, right after class. I don't want to go to Frosty's, not in this occasion at least. I...well, I'm rather fond of her, and want to ask her to go steady. To be true, I think she's fond of me too, or so say the guys, but I'm not completely sure, and just in case she says no, I prefer not to be at Frosty's when I talk to her. I only hope she'll say yes! I have to think where to take her, if she accepts. Somewhere to be on our own, where we can dance and talk, and...maybe Mel's will do, yeah. It can be our place, why not?
