- Verse:
- Nothing to do, Nellie Darling;
Nothing to do you say?
Let's take a trip on memory's ship,
Back to the by gone days.
Sail to the old village school house;
Anchor outside the school door,
Look in and see; there's you and there's me;
A couple of kids once more.
-
- Chorus:
- School days, school days,
- Dear old golden rule days,
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic,
- Taught to the tune of a
hick'ry stick,
You were my queen in calico,
- I was your bashful barefoot
beau,
And you wrote on my slate, "I love you so,"
- When we were a couple of
kids.
