Lyrics:

(Spoken)
Hey man, I don't feel like goin' to school no more
Me neither
Can't make me go
No way daddyo, yeah

I ain't goin' to school
It starts too early for me
Well listen man
I ain't goin' to school no more
It starts much, much too early for me
I don't care about readin'
Writin', 'rithmetic or history

I'm gonna walk to the corner
And meet my little Marie
I'm gonna walk to the corner
And meet my little Marie
Well, she's the only girl
In this whole world who understands me

Well, she's sexy and seventeen
My little rock-roll queen
Acts a little bit obscene
Gotta let off a little steam
Dig that sound
And shake it around your mind, mind, mind

Johnny and Eddie and me and Jimmy and Jack
Are gonna do a little number
On the teacher when she turns her back
We're gonna cut out of class
Meet the girls by the railroad track

Well, ev'ry Friday night
There's a band that you gotta hear
Just a dollar to get in
And twenty-five cents a beer
They play rock and roll music
Like it hasn't been rocked for years

Well she's sexy and seventeen
My little rock-roll queen
Acts a little bit obscene
Gotta let off a little steam
Dig that sound
And shake it around
Your mind, mind, mind

---- Instrumental Interlude ----

Well-a-hell-a-hell-a
When I feel that rockin' beat
I can't sit still
Up, out of my seat
Come on, Babe
Lets shuffle 'round your feet
Can't learn nothin' in school
They don't teach you on the street

Whoo-oh, whoo-oh, baby
I like your style
Whoo-oh-oh-oh-oh, baby
I like your style
You don't care what the other kids say
You go real wild

Well, you're sexy and seventeen
My little rock-roll queen
Acts a little bit obscene
Gotta let off a little steam
Dig that sound
And shake it around
Your mind , mind , mind
Dig that sound
And shake it around
Your mind , mind , mind
