Down around the corner in a little school

Children learn their lessons and the golden rule

'Cause they got a teacher up from Basin Street

And she does her teachin' with a boogie beat

Teachin' the ABCs with rhythm and ease

But every single mornin' it's the same old thing

All the kiddies waitin' for the bell to ring

When they hear it ringin' they all jump in line

They hop into the classroom feeling mighty fine

To learn their ABCs with rhythm and ease

Well, a-readin', writin', arithmetic

Taught to the tune of a licorice stick

No education is ever complete

Without a boogie woogie woogie beat

When the day is over and it's time to go

The kiddies grab their books and stand right at the door

Teacher is so happy, 'cause she's done her bit

To educate the kids and make 'em really fit

To learn their ABCs with rhythm and ease

Well, a-readin', writin', arithmetic

Taught to the tune of a licorice stick

No education is ever complete

Without a boogie woogie woogie beat

Now when the day is over and it's time to go

The kiddies grab their books and stand right at the door

Teacher is so happy, 'cause she's done her bit

To educate the kids and make 'em really fit

To learn their ABCs with rhythm and ease
