Lyrics

School days, school days
I wish school days could come again, again
Please Mr. Walker, I like your daughter
I used to tell her that I'm a welder
That was a lie, sir
I'm just a singer in a roots rock reggae band
Now I'm asking for her hand
I hope you'll understand
She used to pass my yard gate
With her chappa chappa stick
I used to lend her my new stick in school
The teacher used to say
She hoped that we grow up that way
And every evening after school
I would walk her to her gate
So as a wise father
Please Mr. Walker
Hope that you can see my case
And I'm asking again
Please Mr. Walker, I like your daughter
I used to tell her that I'm a welder
That was a lie, sir
I'm just a singer in a roots rock reggae band
Now I'm asking for her hand
I hope you understand, kind sir
And when we were in third form
I used to carry her books to school
We never break no golden rule
We never scholar day from school
If it was wrong to take her to a garden
Then sir, I want to beg your pardon
A little kiss in the dark
A little walk through the park
That's all in a schoolboy love affair
So I hope I made it clear
Mr. Walker, I'm asking once again
Please Mr. Walker
