Nothing to do, Nellie darling,
"Nothing to do," you say.
Let's take a trip on memory's ship
Back to those bygone days.
Sail to the old village school house,
Anchor
outside the school door
Look in and see,
There's you and me,
A couple of kid's once more.
_____*_____
School Days! School Days!
Good old golden rule days.
Reading and writing and 'rithmetic,
Taught to the tune of a hickory stick.
You were my queen in Calico,
I was your bashful barefoot boy.
You wrote on my slate
"I love you Joe."
When we were just two kid's.
