♪ Down around the corner in a little school♪ Children learn their lessons and their golden rule♪ Cause they got a teacher up from Basin Street♪ And she does her teaching with a boogie beat♪ Teaching the ABC with rhythm and E♪ Every single morning and night♪ Every single morning it's the same old thing♪ All the kids are waiting for the bell to ring♪ When they hear it ringing they all jump in line♪ Walk into the classroom feeling mighty fine♪ To learn their ABC with rhythm and E♪ Well, reading, writing, arithmetic♪ Caught to the tune of a licorice stick♪ No education is ever complete♪ Without a boogie, woogie, woogie beat♪ Well, I'll read♪ And when the day is over and it's time to go♪ The children get their books and stand right at the door♪ Teacher is so happy cause she's done her bit♪ To educate the kids and make them really fit♪ To say their ABC with rhythm and E♪♪♪♪ Well, reading, writing, arithmetic♪ Caught to the tune of a licorice stick♪ No education is ever complete♪ Without a boogie, woogie, woogie beat♪ Well, I'll read♪ And when the day is over and it's time to go♪ The children get their books and stand right at the door♪ Teacher is so happy cause she's done her bit♪ To educate the kids and make them really fit♪ To say their ABC with rhythm and E♪♪♪
