School Is Out

(album: Matthew & Son - 1967)

School is out now we're gonna have some fun.
We're gonna make like we are the only ones.

I'm gonna buy a piece of the sky and sell passing clouds
I'm gonna be a mayor of some small town and tax the crowds
I'm gonna be a local surveyor and study the foreman {guilds?}
I'm gonna line up some of the finest girls that are in the world!

We're coming out of school today and we're so happy to be alive.
It's gonna be the best day, the best day of our lives.

Mmmm....

I'm gonna be a history maker I'll call myself Richard the Third.
I'm gonna buy an amplifier and shout out "Have you heard?"

We're coming out of school today and we're so happy to be alive.
It's gonna be the best day, the best day of our lives.

We're coming out of school today...baby...
