And she does her teaching with a boogie beat

Describing the routine every morning.
All the kids are waiting for the bell to ring
Children eagerly await the school bell.
When they hear it ringing, they all jump in line
Upon hearing the bell, all kids line up.
Walking to the classroom, feeling mighty fine
Walking to class with a positive feeling.

Well, a-reading, writing, arithmetic

Taught to the tune of a liquorice stick
