Lyric

"School's Out"

Main Riff
Well we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Makin all that noise
'Cause they found new toys

Bridge 1
Well we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag

Chorus
School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces

Bridge 2
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Main Riff
Well we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

Chorus
School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces

Bridge 2
No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Bridge 2
Out for summer
Out till fall
We might not go back at all

Chorus
School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely
