Lyrics

"Nothing to do, Nellie darling
Nothing to do," you say
Let's take a trip on memory ship
Back to the bygone days
Sail to the old village schoolhouse
Anchor outside the school door
Look in and see, there's you and there's me
A couple of kids once more
Schooldays, schooldays
Dear old Golden Rule days
Readin' and writin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of a hick'ry stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe"
When we were a couple of kids
'Member the hill, Nellie darling
And the oak tree that grew on its brow?
They built forty stories upon that old hill
And the oak's an old chestnut now
'Member the meadows so green, dear
So fragrant with clover and maize?
Into new city lots and preferred business plots
They've cut them up since those days
Schooldays, schooldays
Dear old Golden Rule days
Readin' and writin' and 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of a hick'ry stick
You were my queen in calico
I was your bashful barefoot beau
And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe"
When we were a couple of kids
