Waitin' In School

Ricky Nelson


I been a-waitin' in school all day long 
a-waitin' on the bell to ring so I can go home 
Throw my books on the table, pick up the telephone 
"Hello, baby, let's get somethin' goin'" 

Headin' down to the drugstore to get a soda pop 
Throw a nickel in the jukebox, then we start to rock 
My school gal baby, gonna tell ya some news 
You sure look good in them baby-doll shoes 

Well, it's a-one, two, a-pull off my shoes 
Three, four, get out on the floor 
Five, six, come get your kicks 
Down on the corner of Lincoln and a-forty-six  
[spoken:] Yeah!

[spoken:] Well, let's go now!! 

Well, it's a-one, two, a-pull off my shoes 
Three, four, get out on the floor 
Five, six, come get your kicks 
Down on the corner of Lincoln and a-forty-six 

You gotta move, start rockin' baby 
a rockin', rockin' baby 
Gonna rock all night, rock all night 
Just wait 'n' see 

[spoken:] Yeah!!
