Lyrics

School days, school days
I wish school days would come again (Again)
Please, mister 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
With her chopa-chopa slate
I used to lend her my new slate in school
The teacher used to say
She hope that we would have got wed
An' every evening after school
I would walk her to her gate
So, as a wise father
Please, mister Walker
Hope that you can see my face
When I'm asking again
Please, mister 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 working third form
I used to carry her books to school
We never break no golden rule
We never stall a day from school
If it was wrong to take her to Hope Gardens
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 may be clear
Mister Walker, I'm-a asking once again
Please, mister Walker
