Thread Name: Lyr Req: Little Red School House & Billy McCoy
Subject: Lyr Add: LITTLE RED SCHOOLHOUSE
In a little red shool house, with my book and slate
In a little red school house, where I was always late
How I long to be back there where I was a scholar
In the days of Yore
How I loved to stand up and hollar, 2 and 2 are 4

When we should have learning about the golden rule
Our little hearts were yearning for the swimming pool
Well, we could hardly wait for school to let out.
The moment that the bell rang we'd run and shout
Oh gee, I want to be, in the litte red school house.

Wow time trip. My absolutest favorite album as a child in the early 60's was "A Child's Very Favorite Song Book" by Twinkle Records. I read verse one and two just popped into my head. My mom sent the album over when she heard I got a turntable for Christmas,(Of course she never threw it away) so now I'll have to see if it's still playable and check the lyrics. The album cover doesn't credit a single artist !! The cute little blonde girl with a white kitten and their matching blue eyes must have been enough to sell the albums
