[CHORUS]
Oh, Baby Doll, when bells
Ring out the summer free
Oh, Baby Doll
Will it end for you and me
We'll sing the old alma mater
And think of things
That used to be
I remember so well back
When the weather was cool
We used to have so much fun
When we were walking to school
If we stopped off to hear
The latest songs they sing
Sometimes we'd just make it in
Before the bell would ring
[repeat CHORUS]
When the teacher was gone
That's when we had a ball
We used to dance and play
All up and down the hall
We had a portable radio
We was balling the jack
But we'd be all back in order
When the teacher got back
[repeat CHORUS]
