Nothing to do, Nellie Darling 
Nothing to do you say 
Let's take a trip on memory's ship 
Back to the bygone days 
Sail to the old village school house 
Anchor outside the school door 
Look in and see, there's you and there's me 
A couple of kids once more 

School days, school days 
Dear old golden rule days 
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic 
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick 
You were my queen in calico 
I was your bashful barefoot beau 
And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe" 
When we were a couple of kids 

'Member the hill, Nellie Darling 
And the oak tree that grew on its brow 
They've built forty storeys upon that old hill 
And the oak's an old chestnut now 
'Member the meadows so green, dear 
So fragrant with clover and maize 
Into new city lots and preferred bus'ness plots 
They've cut them up since those days 

School days, school days 
Dear old golden rule days 
Readin' and 'ritin' and 'rithmetic 
Taught to the tune of the hickory stick 
You were my queen in calico 
I was your bashful barefoot beau 
And you wrote on my slate, "I love you, Joe" 
When we were a couple of kids
