Schools Out for the Summer

Schools out for the summer by Alice Cooper 



Well we got no choice

All the girls and boys

Makin all that noise

Cause they found new toys

Well we can't salute ya

Can't find a flag

If that don't suit ya

That's a drag




School's out for summer

School's out forever

School's been blown to pieces


No more pencils

No more books

No more teacher's dirty looks



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


School's out for summer

School's out forever

School's been blown to pieces


No more pencils

No more books

No more teacher's dirty looks



Out for summer

Out till fall

We might not go back at all


School's out forever

School's out for summer

School's out with fever

School's out completely
