Down around the corner in a little school Children learn their lessons and their golden
rule Cause they got a teacher up from Basin Street
And she does her teaching with a boogie beat Teaching the ABC with rhythm and E
Every single morning it's the same old thing All the kids are waiting for the bell to ring
When they hear it ringing they all jump in line
Walk into the classroom feeling mighty fine To learn their ABC with rhythm and E
Well, reading, writing, arithmetic Caught to the tune of a licorice stick
No education is ever complete Without a boogie woogie woogie beat
Well, I read!
And when the day is over and it's time to go The children get their books and stand right at the door
Teacher is so happy cause she's done her bit To educate the kids and make them really fit
To say their ABC with rhythm and E
