I ragazzi del juke boxe |
| School Is Out |
| Gary «U.S."Bonds |
| (written by Anderson, Barge, Guida and Royster-- |
| Anderson was Bonds' real name) |
| (see more notes below) |
| A-one, a-two, a-one two three four |
| No more books and studies |
| And I can stay out late with my buddies |
| I can do the things that I want to do |
| 'Cause all my exams are through |
| I can root for the Yankees from the bleachers |
| And don’t have to worry 'bout teachers |
| I’m so glad that school is out |
| I could sing and shout! |
| CHORUS: |
| (School is out) |
| Everybody’s gonna have some fun |
| (School is out) |
| Everybody’s gonna jump and run |
| (School is out) |
| Come on people don’t you be late |
| (School is out) |
| I just got time to take my girl out on a date |
| School is out at last |
| And I’m so glad I passed |
| So everybody come and go with me |
| We’re gonna have a night with Daddy G |
| Go Daddy! |
| (Sax solo, including the words:) |
| That’s great! |
| Let’s celebrate! |
| With a little bit of soul now! |
| Oh yeah! |
| The party’s here! |
| CHORUS |
| (Sax solo) |
| Fade on chorus |
| One of my favorite themes of top 40 music is the concept of the «sound-alike» |
| Follow-up to a big hit. |
| Gary «U.S."Bonds was the king of this in 1961. His |
| First hit was «Quarter To Three"which was based on an earlier instrumental |
| Tune by his band, «A Night With Daddy G"by The Church Street Five (both of |
| Which are mentioned in the words to the song). |
| He then followed this up with |
| «School Is Out"which also mentioned a night with Daddy G and had the same |
| «a-1−2-3−4"countdown intro. The natural follow-up was then released, |
| «School Is In», which was the third hit in a row to have the shout, «Go |
| Daddy!"right before the sax solo by Gene «Daddy G"Barge (as well as |
| «a-1−2-3−4», again). |
| Funny--«School is Out"was released in late summer |
| 1961, long after school let out for vacation, and was still going strong on |
| The charts well into September when «School Is In"was released (but it |
| Didn’t peak on the charts till later in the fall, long after school was back |
| In session). |
| The final song in this Gary «U. |
| S."Bonds progression didn’t |
| Have anything to do with Daddy G or school, but it did take advantage of the |
| Late fall of 1961's nationwide fad, the twist. |
| «Dear Lady Twist"had |
| Essentially the same chords and tune as «School Is In.» |
| Okay, here are the words to «School Is Out» |
