Today’s the last day of school here. I can’t help remember our last day of school chant from when I was a kid…

No more pencils No more books No more teacher’s Dirty looks. Kick the tables Kick the chairs Kick the teachers Down the stairs!

Every kid in my generation sang this on the last day of school every year. We may have felt a tinge of guilt on singing the last two lines. But, in reality, it was just a chant of glee about the school year ending and the start of summer. There were no ill-intents except for that we were sooooooo happy school was out and we wouldn’t mind not seeing any teachers for a couple of months.

I don’t know how many people chant it nowadays. My daughter didn’t know it when I chanted it this morning to her. And when I got to the last 2 lines, she asked, “Why would you say that?” So the generations have changed… which I suppose is not bad after all.

My daughter also told me that at her school on the last day, the teachers all go outside and wave to the buses of kids while they’re departing. Now that’s a nice custom!

Perhaps there’s more overall civility in schools nowadays.

Happy summer!

PS Feel free to let us know in the comments below if you or your kids still sing this chant. You’re also welcome to share other end of school year chants (in any language – though we appreciate translations!).

It’s a cool song really, Mama Lisa :D here, In Egypt, we sing lots of funny songs as well .. but I can still remember a very special short cheering, that I’ve NEVER said it before, ’cause only boys used to sing it OUT LOUD at the last day :D I’ll write it in Arabic, then the English translation follows ;) لا مذاكرة بعد اليوم .. لعب الكورة أهم أهم “La mozakra baad alyoum .. Le3b alkorah aham aham” English translation: No more studying from now .. playing football is much more important. I really like it .. if only I could be a little young girl once again to hear my classmates sing it while they are throwing papers up up in the sky :))

Thanks, mama Lisa .. you remind me of my best memories ever :)

Thanks for writing Radwa… I like your rhyme!

Re. reminding of best memories… that’s my mission in life!

Cheers! Mama Lisa

When/where I was it was “Three more days and we’ll be free/from this place of misery/no more pencils, no more books/no more teacher’s dirty looks!”

With the number, of course, varying depending on how many days are left.

Today ought to be the last day of school, but for some reason it’s not. No, instead they’re going to make us all drag our lazy butts up ONE MORE TIME on Monday for a miserable half day so our kids can get their report cards. Sheesh.

That’s rough Uly… just keep thinking of the break after that!

I remember this, not from one of the many schools I went to, but from a children’s book (can’t remember which) I read – must have been the Sixties:

No more Latin, no more French, No more sitting on a hard school bench!

Thanks Ernestine!

We would sing: “Vive* les vacances, point de pénitences, Les cahiers au feu, la maîtresse au milieu” Translation “Long live the holidays, no penances, Notebooks in the fire, the teacher (female) in the middle”

*grammaticaly it should be “vivent” in plural since it’s “les vacances” but the word “vive” (“Let/long… live”) tends to pass as a set word in singular.

haha, things have changed! i’m a freshman currently, and at our school, the chant is the same except for the last four lines; our says “when the teacher rings the bell, drop you books and run like hell.” and the teachers out side yell “O!” (hello) hahaha. <33

Thanks so much, my mum has been searching for the end to this poem and will be so happy.

[…] the world to me. I adored going to school. On the last day of first grade, when other students were chanting, ‘No more pencils, no more books…’, I cried because school was over. Who does […]

LOVE this! I said it to my son this morning because today was the last day of 5th grade for him. His reply. “Mom, you guys were weird in the old days!” 😳 old days?!? Lol. Thanks for sharing!

Nobody mentioned Alice Cooper uses the lyrics ‘No more pencils no more books no more teachers dirty looks’. In the song ‘Schools Out’

Lisa (or Ernestine?) above quotes:

“No more Latin, no more French, No more sitting on a hard school bench!”

Perhaps the book she is thinking of is one of the nigel molesworth/st custards (always in lower case) books by Geoffrey Willans, illustrated by Ronald Searle. In one of these, molesworth quotes the very similar

“No more Latin, no more French, No more sitting on the hard old bench!”

The books were written in the 1950s, showing that the rhyme has been around for a long time. I have certainly sung “No more teachers, no more books” since the mid-1970s.

Christmas Around The World

A Mama Lisa eBook

People everywhere love Christmas – but we don’t all celebrate it the same way.

Mama Lisa’s Christmas Around The World is a celebration of the diversity and love with which many different cultures mark this joyful time of year. 

You’ll read about: 

• How in Italy it’s not Santa Claus who gives gifts to all the children. It’s La Befana, a friendly witch! 
• How Scandinavians mark the end of the season by “plundering” the Christmas Tree on St. Knut’s Day. That’s a fun way to get children to help with the post-holiday clean-up! 
• How in Colombia, in the Southern Hemisphere, it’s usually warm in December. So Christmas is celebrated like a giant outdoor block party! 

The first part of the book covers some of the traditions that take place on days other than Christmas itself, like St. Nick’s Day and Epiphany. The history and meaning of these holidays is discussed, often with examples of traditional songs. 

The second part presents beloved traditions and songs from many different nations. The songs are given in the original languages and with English translations. 

What makes the book really special is the many comments from Mama Lisa’s correspondents who have shared stories and memories from their own lives. The memories of childhood touch us forever! 

Many of the songs featured also include links to the Mama Lisa website, where you can find recordings, videos and sheet music. 

Merry Christmas!

School’s Out

School’s out, school’s out Teacher let the monkeys out And as the final buzzer rang You came along and held my hand This feels so much better than Anything I’ve ever had This could be the summer of my life

No more pencils, no more books No more teachers’ dirty looks Nothing I don’t wanna do Just days and nights of loving you This could be the finest thing I’ve ever done, or ever will This could be the summer of my life

I have found a girl that I like And I got some gasoline in my bike When she holds on and whispers my name This world can go up in flames- The first time is the only time There’s no one here to draw the line This could be the summer of my life

School days, school days Finished with the golden rule days We’ll run that highway till we see The road to immortality This feels unbelievable More than I thought possible This could be the summer of my life

(lyrics: Dan Bern)

National Geographic Education Blog

No more pencils, no more books…

“No more pencils, no more books. No more teachers’ dirty looks.”

I can remember singing this ditty on the last day of elementary school before summer break. The sense of elation that came with knowing that days spent sitting at a desk would soon give way to mornings of tennis and swimming, following by afternoons of crafts, biking, ice cream, and reading for pleasure was unlike almost any feeling of anticipation I have experienced in my adult life.

That is why I was so interested to read and participate in this discussion in the New York Times’ “Room for Debate.” The Times invited seven educational experts to weigh in on the question of summer homework for students. Most agreed that summer assignments were essential to keeping students sharp over the break, although they offered differing reasons for their positions as well ideas of what summer learning should look like. Below are a selection of excerpts from their statements, followed by my own contribution.

Take a read, and then offer your perspective. I want to know from the real experts–parents, students, and classroom teachers– what you think of homework over summer break. Yes? No?

If yes: How much, and what should it consist of [geography, perhaps!] ? If no: Why not?? 

Harris Cooper is chairman of the department of psychology and neuroscience at Duke University.

The long summer vacation disrupts the rhythm of instruction, leads to forgetting, and requires time be spent reviewing old material when students return to school in fall.

Also, [the research indicated that] the impact can differ based on a child’s economic background.

Nancy Kalish is the co-author of “The Case Against Homework: How Homework Is Hurting Our Children and What We Can Do About It.”

Some studies claim that students lose skills they don’t practice over the summer. However, if a child can’t regain his grasp of fractions with a brief review, maybe those skills weren’t taught well enough in the first place.

But there are a few things summer homework does accomplish effectively: It steals time away from other important aspects of learning such as play, which helps kids master social skills and teamwork. In addition, writing book reports means kids spend fewer hours being physically active, which is essential for good health and weight control, not to mention proper brain development.

Mark Bauerlein is a professor of English at Emory University and the author of “The Dumbest Generation: How the Digital Age Stupefies Young Americans and Jeopardizes Our Future.”

To the general question of whether or not schools should assign summer homework, the answer is, “Yes, most assuredly.”

The reason stems not only from the brain drain of summer and the fog of texting that enwraps youths during leisure hours. It relates also to an attitude young people take toward education. In a word, they regard learning as a classroom thing, that’s all.

Denise Pope is senior lecturer at the Stanford University School of Education and co-founder of Challenge Success , a research and student intervention project.

The problem with summer homework is a lack of buy-in from one of the main constituencies: the students.

Why should we care if the students are bought in? We know from research that motivation plays a central role in engagement with learning and, subsequently, student achievement.

Tyrone Howard is an associate professor at the U.C.L.A. Graduate School of Education and Information Studies.

Homework should help to reinforce content or materials that teachers have taught or covered in class. But in many cases today, homework has been reduced to busy work that posseses minimal value in developing deeper understanding.

That said, assigning summer homework is a good idea in theory.

A better approach than homework over the summer is the more intensive, small learning community-type summer school programs that last four to six weeks.

Sarah Jane …seems to me the best model would be to design summer learning experiences that reinforce concepts taught during the school year to avoid summer loss, but that also take advantage of unique summer environments and opportunities and give students a greater degree of choice and flexibility; which is motivating. Allow students to write book reports on books THEY choose from a recommended list, or have them keep a field journal of their outdoor explorations.

And, where available, why not take advantage of online tools to structure deadlines over the course of the entire summer so that students keep the learning going, rather than cramming it into the beginning or the end of the summer?

What do YOU think??

2 thoughts on “ No more pencils, no more books… ”

No more pencils, no more books. No more teachers’ dirty looks.

We live in Italy and my kids will have had just over three months holiday when they return on the 14th September. My son got a ridiculous amount of homework (Italian, Maths, reading, English), whereas my daughter was given none. Her class teacher suggested that she go over her timestables and read. My son is pushed particularly hard during the year and is practically brain-dead by the end. Then to have a mountain to get through really isn’t appealing. And he is coming up to his 9th birthday, and my daughter is 13 months younger!

I was in the Army with my new wife and a son now 50years old as of this day, Jan. 15, 2022. I know this song came out way before my Son.
• Barzini from Boston One of the few songs that I remember where I was (Riverside Amusement Park) when I heard it for the first time. I thought something went wrong with the sound system when the song was ending. Nearly 50 years later School’s Out still sounds as innovative, catchy and clever.
• Barry from Sauquoit, Ny On May 28th 1972, "School's Out" by Alice Cooper entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at position #88; and on July 23rd it peaked at #7 (for 2 weeks) and spent 13 weeks on the Top 100... It reached #3 on the Canadian RPM Top singles chart... Eleven years earlier in July 1961 Gary U.S. Bonds entered the Top 100 with a record titled "School Is Out"; his completely different version reached #5... Ms.?

• Cyberpope from Richmond, Canada Marilyn Manson is a Cooper poser! Does the same basic facial makeup, uses a girl's first name, PLAYS at counter-culture(unlike with Cooper, where it was a personal & original lifestyle!) Love Alice Cooper -- got lots of his vinyl albums, with jacket art! Wonderful trips down memory lane (I wasn't there then, but I've caught up & traveled back to those beautiful daze of good music written & played for the love of the art & the joy of making happy adoring fans!

• Lee from Huntsville, Al just one of those clasic songs that everyone on earth can relate to...being glad to be done with school. little do we know at the time,but we will miss those carefree days. seems life deals the lessons and we have to learn from them,mostly never in time to appreciate or be helpful...it never changes. seems like when you think you got it figured out,another lesson hits you square in the mouth...on and on.
• Chase from Miami, Fl Alice Coopers stage persona is not how he lives his life! He currently holds a Bible study in a Baptist church in Arizona. Marilyn Manson onther hand is probably the same

• Lalah from Wasilla, Ak Alice was always about marketability. "Schools Out", "I wanna be elected", "I'm 18", "Aching to get me" . . . All these are anthems for milestones in life. This was the first song I ever requested at the end of my 6th grade career and it still gets requests annually around May and June.
• Joshua from Celina, Oh Alice is amazingin everything he does especially at his concerts!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Chrissy from Long Island, Ny This song is like an anthem to all kids. My brothers and sister listen to it every year on the last day of school. Alice Cooper rocks!!

• Michelle from Anaheim, Ca For that commercial that Ben from Beaverton mentioned, it was for Staples. He's in the store with a cartful of school supplies and a little girl goes up to him and says "I thought school was out forever." & he says "no no it's just a song." Good song for high school/college students. You can always hear it on the radio.
• D from Lake Forest, Il All schools should have this blast out at the end of the year from the student body. If they don't, they can all drink the cool-aid o_0
• Bob from Toronto, Canada The song grew out of its famous guitar riff which was written by Glen Buxton, the lead guitarist.

• Katheren from Augusta, Me I like Chicken you fools! not liver!
• Chad from Andover, Mn In addition to the parody of it being sung by Principal Skinner as Will from Portland said, there's also an episode of The Simpsons which starts off with a dream sequence featuring the students of Springfield Elementary destroying the school, while this song plays in the background.
• Wes from Springfield, Va What a great teenage anthem! I recall that somebody spray-painted "School's Out" across one of the buildings in my high school the year I graduated, heightening the sense of freedom I felt. (Nowadays I'd tsk tsk at it.) "We can't even think of a word that rhymes": A great little throwaway line...
• Ross from Independence, Mo This is #319 on Rolling Stone's list of 500 greatest songs.
• Jude from Thomasville, Ga One of the reasons I like ole Alice is he doesn't take himself seriously, and the commercial is a perfect example of this. He's always made it clear that Alice Cooper is a stage persona and not how he lives his life. I strongly suspect Marilyn Manson has absolutely no sense of humor whatsoever, the poor devil.
• Zac from Gastonia, Al I am vouching for this is our class song even though it isn't a great song it really sums up how the idiots in the student body feel about school and god knows its better than Kenny Chesney the second leading candidate

• Peter from Passage, Ireland When I graduated from school, me and my friends went out to a club, they played this song- unreal
• Ben from Beaverton, Or in that commercial with cooper and that little girl, he says something like "no no, i said schools out for summer," when in fact the last time he sings it, he sings it as "schools out for ever," remember...?
• Will from Portland, Or In a Simpsons episode, Principal Skinner sings his own version of this song, and it goes "Schools...back...in...session! Lets...begin...the...lesson!"

NO MORE PENCILS, NO MORE BOOKS, NO MORE TEACHER’S DIRTY LOOKS!

by Diane deGroat & illustrated by Diane deGroat ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 1, 2006

Gilbert and his friends return to delight their fans in this look at their last day of school. The normal classroom routine is replaced by cleaning desks, reminiscing about the year and practicing the poems and songs they will recite for their parents that afternoon. Recess is spent speculating as to who will win which awards. Gilbert is especially worried about this, as he cannot think of anything that he is better at than his classmates. But all works out in the end, and a little ice cream after the final school bell cheers up all the students. And looking out the window, Gilbert is heartened to learn that even Miss Byrd loves summer vacation—she bicycles past the shop wearing Gilbert’s gift. DeGroat perfectly portrays the essence of the last day of school, from the strange surroundings of a classroom stripped of all decorations, to the mixed emotions of students and teachers alike. Her classic illustrations capture body language and facial expression to a T. A wonderful celebration of the end of a school year, ideal for preparing kindergartners. (Picture book. 4-8)

JOE LOUIS, MY CHAMPION

by William Miller & illustrated by Rodney Pate ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 1, 2004

One of the watershed moments in African-American history—the defeat of James Braddock at the hands of Joe Louis—is here given an earnest picture-book treatment. Despite his lack of athletic ability, Sammy wants desperately to be a great boxer, like his hero, getting boxing lessons from his friend Ernie in exchange for help with schoolwork. However hard he tries, though, Sammy just can’t box, and his father comforts him, reminding him that he doesn’t need to box: Joe Louis has shown him that he “can be the champion at anything [he] want[s].” The high point of this offering is the big fight itself, everyone crowded around the radio in Mister Jake’s general store, the imagined fight scenes played out in soft-edged sepia frames. The main story, however, is so bent on providing Sammy and the reader with object lessons that all subtlety is lost, as Mister Jake, Sammy’s father, and even Ernie hammer home the message. Both text and oil-on-canvas-paper illustrations go for the obvious angle, making the effort as a whole worthy, but just a little too heavy-handed. (Picture book. 5-8)

BECAUSE YOUR DADDY LOVES YOU

by Andrew Clements & illustrated by R.W. Alley ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 23, 2005

Give this child’s-eye view of a day at the beach with an attentive father high marks for coziness: “When your ball blows across the sand and into the ocean and starts to drift away, your daddy could say, Didn’t I tell you not to play too close to the waves? But he doesn’t. He wades out into the cold water. And he brings your ball back to the beach and plays roll and catch with you.” Alley depicts a moppet and her relaxed-looking dad (to all appearances a single parent) in informally drawn beach and domestic settings: playing together, snuggling up on the sofa and finally hugging each other goodnight. The third-person voice is a bit distancing, but it makes the togetherness less treacly, and Dad’s mix of love and competence is less insulting, to parents and children both, than Douglas Wood’s What Dads Can’t Do (2000), illus by Doug Cushman. (Picture book. 5-7)

No More Teachers, No More Books: The Complete School’s Out Playlist

By Jon Dolan

If there’s one thing rock & rollers love it’s summer. And if there’s one thing rock and rollers love almost as much as summer it’s hating school. So as the clock winds down on another year of useless learning, it’s the perfect time to enjoy the many great songs rooted in both of these loves – and even better, songs that celebrate both at once. Here’s our playlist of the best end of school/beginning of summer jams of all time.

Alice Cooper , “School’s Out” In 2004, Alice Cooper received an honorary degree from Phoenix’s Grand Canyon University, so his anti-school credentials have been somewhat compromised. But back in 1972, this hard-rock distillation of the last three minutes before summer starts gave us the anthem against which all homework-hating vacation-lovers must measure their work. Thanks to the end-of-school scene in Dazed and Confused , it’s impossible to hear this without wanting to rip up a hastily written, mostly plagiarized final exam paper on the reasons for the Watergate crisis, throw it into the air and run out into the eternal sunshine of pools and parks department jobs and deep woods kegger freedom.

Big Star, “Thirteen” “Won’t you let me walk you home from school / Won’t you let me meet you at the pool,” Alex Chilton sings in one of the sweetest, gentlest ballads of all time. No song better evokes the itchy angst of that period after Memorial Day, when the fact that they’re still making you go to school – even though it’s already hot as balls and light until 8:30 – seems like some sort of crime against humanity.   Supertramp, “School” This time of year there’s nothing more infectious than a little anti-institutional rock & roll venting – Chuck Berry’s “School Days,” Pink Floyd’s “Another Brick In the Wall,” the Beasties’ “(You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party),” with its classic opening lines: “You wake up for school / Man, you don’t want to go / You asked your mom ‘please’ but she still says ‘no!'” (definitive proof that saying ‘please’ is a total crock). A band that laid down filigreed instrumental explorations as silly as Supertramp’s had to be avidly pro-free expression, and they summed up that position nicely in this jazzy 1974 rant against the oppressive forces keeping young people down (an obvious sop to the Oppressed Young People market). “I can see you in the morning when you go to school / Don’t forget your books, you know you’ve got to learn the golden rule,” Roger Hodgson observes sarcastically. Later, when he repeatedly sings “don’t do this!/ And don’t do that!” he nails one of the great droning-education-bureaucrat imitations of all time, like the Seymour Skinner of soft-rock.

Editor’s picks

Every awful thing trump has promised to do in a second term, the 250 greatest guitarists of all time, the 500 greatest albums of all time, the 50 worst decisions in movie history.

Pink Floyd, “Another Brick in the Wall” The ‘Tramp weren’t done thumbing their noses at the education system. Their next hit, “Bloody Well Right,” contained a probing critique of the class biases inherent in the college admission process with the line, “So you think your schooling’s phoney / I guess it’s hard not to agree / You say it all depends on money / And who is in your family tree.” Yet, while Supertramp railed staunchly against the evils of schooling, their jazzy sophistication and occasional use of large words often betrayed a little too much of it. Not so with “Another Brick In the Wall,” a simple, snotty disavowel of pedagogy that puts its pro-dumbness money where its drooping mouth is – from the grammatically incorrect chorus, “We don’t need no education,” to the butt-simple disco groove to the fact that it’s barely even a real song (producer Bob Ezrin built it out of Roger Waters’ original minute-long fragment). Ezrin’s image looms large in the history of school-hate rock. He first used a chorus of kids on Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out” and perfected the gimmick here, bringing in a couple dozen students from a school near the recording studio and multi-tracking their voices until they sounded like hundreds. Those youngsters must’ve been coming from an especially rough afternoon studying the Corn Laws or the axiomatic frameworks for geometry or whatever it is they cram into English childrens’ heads all day, because they nailed the droning Orwellian malaise that makes this song burn deeper than a wedgie from the meanest kid in class.

Alice Cooper Once Tossed a Chicken Into an Audience. A New Doc Captures the Mayhem

The bass player in vixen wants to sell you your next house, alice cooper is worried being trans is a 'fad,' spews debunked bathroom predator myths.

Radiohead, “Bishop’s Robes” Britain really has excelled in the field of teacher bashing. And it’s no wonder: The English have their own special set of reasons to hate school. For one, their schools are actually good, which makes them even lamer than ours. Secondly, they seem to ship all their future rock geniuses off to oppressive private boarding academies where they endure routine physical abuse at the hands of their instructors and bizarre hazing rituals at the hands of their fellow students. Who better than Thom Yorke to write an austerely creepy song about this austerely creepy tradition? “Dressed in bishop’s robes bastard headmaster / I am not going back,” he sings over a molasses-paced melody, looking back on the end of a still-haunting experience. Most end-of-school songs surge with the promise of fun in the sun. This one forecasts a lifetime of expensive shame therapy sessions.

Britny Fox, “Girlschool” But let’s return for a moment to that whole go to school/golden rule line. Whoever invented language was really looking out for future generations of lazy rock songwriters when they made “school” rhyme with not only “rule,” but “fool” and “cool” as well. How fitting that just about any moron can come up with a serviceable anti-school song. Morons like Britny Fox, for instance. These Eighties poodle-metal fluff’tards probably wrote “Girlschool” for the sole purpose of stocking the video with tower-haired vixens in Catholic school outfits, but they also managed to knock out a pretty great glam-rock banger in the process. Singer Tommy Paris shrieks like a Hyena who just got burned by a crimping iron as he salutes his parochially educated baby – she broke all the rules, acting real cool, at the girls’ school! Let’s hope for the sake of her future, she’ll stop shakin’ her ass in the back of the class and go off to college and get a little knowledge. Mogwai, “I Love You, I’m Going to Blow Up Your School” And what better way to show that special someone how much you care? For seven minutes the Scottish noise-rock monks of Mogwai ride a slow fuse from somber restraint to explosive chaos, adding their own unique contribution to rock’s rich canon of school-as-murderous-hellhole songs – from Hüsker Dü’s “Guns At My School” to the Dead Milkman’s “Violent School” to the Boomtown Rats’ school-shooting lament “I Don’t Like Mondays.”   

Tyla Makes South Africa 'Jump' Under the Summer Sun in Video With Gunna and Skillibeng

How kid rock went from america's favorite hard-partying rock star to a maga mouthpiece, kid rock performed 'cowboy' in the bed of a 'general lee' cybertruck, lindsey graham chastises samuel alito over upside-down flag.

Kanye West, “School Spirit” The classic I’m-way-too-smart-for-school jam. Every precocious kid in America thinks it at some point but it took Kanye to put a beat under the feeling, rapping, “They say, ‘Oh you graduated?’ / No, I decided I was finished.” Some of Kanye’s later decision-making suggests that sticking around for a few extra psych courses might’ve done him some good, but when you spit so hot that we all get tanned chasin’, then your dreams is the only plan. And for the dreamless, stay in school!   Undertones, “Here Comes The Summer” Rock guys sure do get self-assured in the romance department as summer approaches. It’s like the high pollen count magically turns girls into complete pushovers  – from Fifties crooner Jerry Keller’s “Here Comes Summer” to Sam Cooke’s “Summertime” to Mongo Jerry’s “In the Summertime,” scads of songs seem based in this scientifically unproven notion. Maybe the greatest of these comes from bouncy Belfast pop-punks the Undertones: “Keep looking for the girls with their faces all tanned / Lying on the beaches all covered in sand.” Really, the suntanned beach-girls of Northern Ireland? It’s a fantasy of escape from their hometown’s dreariness and strife, and the little tinge of realism is what makes it great.   Fiery Furnaces, “Here Comes The Summer” For the feminist response to all this easy-summer-lovin’ beeswax, check out the Fiery Furnaces’ indie-pop nugget on the subject, also titled “Here Comes the Summer.”  Eleanor Friedberger flips the tradition with lyrics about making some poor sucker wait all school year to get some. She even adds insult to injury by poetically evoking all the changing seasons he’s had to endure – the freezing winds of December, the dark nights of October, the cold rains of March: “You knew it wouldn’t be too soon / We’ll have to wait until it’s June.” The stately sass in her voice suggests he may even be waiting a little longer.

Al Green, “School Days” Not every song has to be about hating your school, dropping out of it, blowing it up, etc. On this lilting soul ballad from Al’s smartness-endorsing Explores Your Mind , he gives us a perfect expression of that “hey, we got along pretty well when we had to sit through biology class together now that it’s summer let’s hit it” feeling. The song’s mood of elegiac absence and regret suggests maybe he had the wrong read on the situation. “Wondering where they’ve gone / School days,” he sings, holding on to “schoooool” like those bygone hours in the bio-lab were Eden itself.   Steely Dan, “My Old School” Most school songs don’t get specific about which school they’re mad at, the assumption being that all schooling is a universally hellish experience. But leave it to the boogie-rock brainiacs in Steely Dan to write a song that namedrops Bard College (where they met) and William and Mary (where the heroine in the song might have to go after a pot bust gets her kicked off campus). The venomous joy with which Donald Fagen promises never to go back up to his old school suggests the Bard Alumni Committee need not include him in future donor solicitation mailings.   Nirvana, “School” Every kid’s worst nightmare. You’ve soldiered through an arduous day of learning, you’re ready to get outside for a little dodgeball or four-square or, if you’re Kurt Cobain, forlorn cigarette smoking away from all the other kids. Then the announcement comes over the loudspeaker: “No Recess!” In this punk-metal maelstrom from Bleach, Nirvana turn those hot, excited final seconds before the bell in Alice Cooper’s “School’s Out” into a brick wall, as a mean, swirling guitar and circular rhythm pull Kurt into the sinkhole of fait accompli: eternal school! “Just my luck,” he sings in perfect, existentially screwed burnout voice.

Jonathan Richman, “That Summer Feeling” This wonderful geek-folk reflection on lost youth is all about recapturing that idyllic moment from Big Star’s “Thirteen,” long after you’ve grown up and forgotten how simple life can be: “When even fourth grade starts lookin’ good.” In characteristic Richman fashion he lays on lush, fragrant images of summer’s impending arrival thicker than sunblock on a Swedish exchange student: the water fountain at the park, the cool of the pond, the smell of the lawn, the Oldsmobile with the top down on it, the flat of the land with the crop down it. “It’s gonna haunt you,” the 33-year-old Richman warns us in his eternal-boy croon over a slow, inviting strum and bonfire-bongos. And it can free you too.
