lyrics:

Fall is here, hear the yell

back to school, ring the bell

brand new shoes, walking blues

climb the fence, books and pens

I can tell that we’re going to be friends

 

Walk with me, Suzy Lee

through the park and by the tree

we will rest upon the ground

and look at all the bugs we found

then safely walk to school

without a sound

 

Well here we are, no one else

we walked to school all by ourselves

there’s dirt on our uniforms

from chasing all the ants and worms

we clean up and now its time to learn

 

Numbers, letters, learn to spell

nouns, and books, and show and tell

at playtime we will throw the ball

back to class, through the hall

teacher marks our height

against the wall

 

And we don’t notice any time pass

we don’t notice anything

we sit side by side in every class

teacher thinks that I sound funny

but she likes the way you sing

 

Tonight I’ll dream while I’m in bed

when silly thoughts go through my head

about the bugs and alphabet

and when I wake tomorrow I’ll bet

that you and I will walk together again

cause I can tell that we’re going to be friends
