Lyrics:

Three chords are enough if you got a good story to tell
But no one throws the first punch until they ring the bell
That's old school

Well, you say what you mean, mean what you say
And someone's word is strong enough, a bond that you don't break
That's old school
And I never went to college or university
Learned everything I had to learn, thinking on my feet
When it comes down to life and love, truth and loyalty
There's old school, that's school enough for me

If you're down on your luck and you need a friend
I'll be there to pick you up and help you start again
That's old school
I don't need a piece of paper on the wall for all to see
'Cause you don't learn right from wrong in a four-year law degree
When it comes down to life and love, truth and loyalty
There's old school and that's school enough for me

And I never went to college or university
I learned everything I had to learn, out there on the street
When it comes down to life and love, truth and loyalty
There's old school

The deal's done when we shake hands and then I'll buy you a drink
You may not understand me and you might even think
I'm an old fool

But I'm just old school

I'm just old school

Maybe just an old fool

Who's just old school
