Down around the corner in a little school, children learn their lessons and the golden rule

‘cause they' re got a teacher up from basin street and she does her teaching with a boogie beat

teaching the ABC, with rhythm and ease.

Ev’ry 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 walking to the classrooms feeling mighty fine

to learn their ABC' s, with rhythm and ease.

Reading, writing and arithmetic, taught to the time of a licorice stick

No education is ever complete without a boogie woogie woogie beat! We all read.

When the school is over and it's time to go, 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’s with rhythm and ease.
