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 teachin' with a boogie beat Teachin' the ABCs with rhythm and ease
But every single mornin' it's the same old thing All the kiddies waitin' for the bell to ring When they hear it ringin' they all jump in line They hop into the classroom feeling mighty fine To learn their ABCs with rhythm and ease
Well, a-readin', writin', arithmetic Taught to the tune of a licorice stick No education is ever complete Without a boogie woogie woogie beat
When the day is over and it's time to go The kiddies grab their books and stand right at the door Teacher is so happy, 'cause she's done her bit To educate the kids and make 'em really fit To learn their ABCs with rhythm and ease
Well, a-readin', writin', arithmetic Taught to the tune of a licorice stick No education is ever complete Without a boogie woogie woogie beat
Now when the day is over and it's time to go The kiddies grab their books and stand right at the door Teacher is so happy, 'cause she's done her bit To educate the kids and make 'em really fit To learn their ABCs with rhythm and ease
