Songs about school

I think he did a version, but not the original. I recall it being several male voices singing the song. Obviously, I'm being extremely lazy or I'd google it myself. Thanks.

OK!!! The Happenings did it in 1966 and that's the one I am recalling. The Tempos did it in 1959. Bobby Vinton did it somewhere in there too. :shades:

Got another one!!

'School Days' by the Runaways

Used to be the trouble maker

Hated homework, was a sweet heartbreaker

But now I have my dream

I'm so rowdy for eighteen

Never read a single book

Hated homework and the dirty looks

Now I live my life

There's a lot I seen at eighteen

School days, school days

I'm older, now what will I find

School day, school days

Starting to slip I'm losin' my mind

Used to be the wild one

Hated class only lived for fun

I'm mean an' got my schemes

At the crazy age of eighteen

Never made the honor roll

Hated rules what I was told

Now I am almost free

It's a dangerous scene when you're eighteen

School days, school days

I'm older, now what will I find

School day, school days

Starting to slip I'm losin' my mind

Some Steely Dan?

MY OLD SCHOOL

I remember the thirty-five sweet goodbyes

When you put me on the Wolverine

Up to Annandale

It was still September

When your daddy was quite surprised

To find you with the working girls

In the county jail

I was smoking with the boys upstairs

When I heard about the whole affair

I said oh no

William and Mary won't do

CHORUS:

Well I did not think the girl

Could be so cruel

And I'm never going back

To my old school

Oleanders growing outside her door

Soon they're gonna be in bloom

Up in Annandale

I can't stand her

Doing what she did before

Living like a gypsy queen

In a fairy tale

Well I hear the whistle but I can't go

I'm gonna take her down to Mexico

She said oh no

Guadalajara won't do

CHORUS

California tumbles into the sea

That'll be the day I go

Back to Annandale

Tried to warn you

About Chino and Daddy Gee

But I can't seem to get to you

Through the U.S. Mail

Well I hear the whistle but I can't go

I'm gonna take her down to Mexico

She said oh no

Guadalajara won't do

CHORUS
