Up in [G] the morning and out to school, the teacher is teaching the golden rule.
American [D] history and practical math.
[C] You study them hard [G] and hoping to pass.
Working your fingers [D] right down to the bone.
And the guy behind you won't leave you alone.
Ring, [G] ring, goes the bell.
The cook in the lunchroom's ready to sell.
You're lucky if you [C] can find a seat.
You're fortunate if you [G] have time to eat.
Back in the [B] classroom, open your books.
Gee, but the teacher don't know [G] how mean she looks.
Soon as three o'clock rolls around, you finally lay your burden down.
Close up your books, [C] get out of your seat.
Down the halls [G] and into the streets.
Up to the corner [D] and round the bend.
Ride to the tube, [G] don't you go in.
Rock the coin right into the slot.

With the one [C] you love, you're making romance.
