Boogie Education: Teaching ABCs with Rhythm
Lyrics
Down around the corner in a little school
Describing a location around the corner where there is a small school.
Children learn their lessons and the golden rule
Children are learning basic lessons and moral principles.
'Cause they got a teacher up from Basin Street
The teacher is from Basin Street, indicating a lively or musical background.
And she does her teaching with a boogie beat
The teacher imparts lessons using a lively boogie beat.
Teaching the ABC with rhythm and E
Teaching the alphabet (ABC) with a rhythmic and energetic style.
Every single morning, it's the same old thing
Every morning follows a similar routine.
All the kids are waiting for the bell to ring
Kids eagerly await the school bell to start the day.
When they hear it ringing, they all jump in line
Children line up when they hear the bell.
Walking to the classroom, feeling mighty fine
Heading to class with a positive and upbeat feeling.
They learn their ABC with rhythm and E
Continuing to learn the alphabet with rhythm and energy.
Well, a-reading, writing, arithmetic
Basic education in reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Taught to the tune of a liquorice stick
Teaching these basics with a musical instrument, perhaps a licorice stick (clarinet).
No education is ever complete
Emphasizing that education is not complete without a lively musical element.
Without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat, well all reet
Celebrating the importance of a boogie-woogie beat in education.
When the day is over and it's time to go
End of the school day, preparing to leave.
The children get their books and stand right at the door
Kids gather their books and stand by the door.
Teacher is so happy, because she's done her bit
The teacher is happy for successfully completing her teaching responsibilities.
To educate the kids and make 'em really fit
Feeling accomplished for educating and preparing the kids.
To say their ABC with rhythm and E
Reinforcing the idea of learning the alphabet with rhythm and energy.
Well, a-reading, writing, arithmetic
Repetition of the importance of reading, writing, and arithmetic.
Taught to the tune of a liquorice stick
Continuing the idea of teaching with a musical accompaniment, using a licorice stick.
No education is ever complete
Stating again that education should include a lively musical beat.
Without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat, well all reet
Emphasizing the significance of the boogie-woogie-woogie beat in education.
When the day is over and it's time to go
Similar to line 15, referencing the end of the school day.
The children get their books and stand right at the door
Repetition of students gathering their books to leave.
Teacher is so happy, because she's done her bit
Reiteration of the teacher's satisfaction with her teaching role.
To educate the kids and make 'em really fit
Highlighting the teacher's contribution to making the children fit for their future.
