| Get ready for school before the class begins |
| Oh little Lou, can I walk to school with you |
| The bells are ringin', if we are late what shall we do Well if the teachers in the classroom ask us why we been |
| Late today, oh, it is late again |
| Oh little Lou, why did you make me hesitate |
| You know the teacher will say |
| There’s no excuse for bein' late |
| Well the lunchbell’s a-ringin' and it’s time for us to eat |
| The dean keeps us shovin', all this steppin' on my feet |
| Oh little Lou, I’ll save a place in line for you |
| Now that luch has passed, can I walk you back to class |
| Well the last class is over and I’m standing all alone |
| A football star walks my little Lou home |
