School days

[Intro] 
[Verse 1]
He said I remember my very first day,
My mum told me to go on my way,
I looked up at those big brick walls,
They looked so scary and really tall,
Now he looked and tried every way,
But there's no possible escape,
Just then he heard that bell,
So he would run like hell,
Straight out the door,
Barely touching the floor,
[Build]
[Chorus]
Ohhh, School days,
Chilling with your mates, 
No responsibilities, 
Just opportunities,
You're best days are your,
School days 
[Refrain]
[Verse 2] 
So now that he's in high school,
Falling in love with the girls,
Just then he gets kicked out of class,
Teacher said don't be a smart ass,
That principal was doing his rounds,
He said follow me and sit down,
What are we going to do son,
You're in trouble and it's only week one,
He said sir I really don't know, 
Maybe you could send me home, 
[Build]
[Chorus]
[Instrumental interlude]
[Refrain]
[Bridge] 
It's plain to see he hated school of course,
He couldn't wait to join the work force,
His friends headed off to university,
To get themselves a fancy degree,
But he's happy and content right here,
Workin hard to advance his career,
[Build]
[Chorus] 
[Refrain]
[Outro] 
Now he said they are right,
Looking back on his life,
We never had bills to pay 
Grandma always used to say 
You're best days are your,
School days,
[Spoken word] 
Now he sure do miss those days.
[Fade to end]
