ABC Boogie
[Intro]
D D D
[Verse 1]
D
Down around the corner in a little school
D
Children learn their lessons and the golden rule
G
'Cause they got a teacher up from Basin Street
D
And she does her teaching with a boogie beat
A D
Teaching the ABC with rhythm and E
[Verse 2]
D
Every single morning, it's the same old thing
D
All the kids are waiting for the bell to ring
G
When they hear it ringing, they all jump in line
D
Walking to the classroom, feeling mighty fine
A D
They learn their ABC with rhythm and E
[Chorus]
F#
Well, a-reading, writing, arithmetic
B
Taught to the tune of a liquorice stick
E7
No education is ever complete
A
Without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat, well all reet
[Verse 3]
D
When the day is over and it's time to go
D
The children get their books and stand right at the door
G
Teacher is so happy, because she's done her bit
D
To educate the kids and make 'em really fit
A D
To say their ABC with rhythm and E
[Lead Break]
