Down around the corner in a little school
Children learn their lessons and the golden rule
'Cause they got a teacher up from Basin Street
And she does her teachin' with a boogie beat
Teachin' the ABCs with rhythm and ease
Every single mornin', It's the same old thing
All the kids are waitin' for the bell to ring
When they hear it ringin', they all jump in line
Walk into the classroom, feeling mighty fine
To learn their ABCs with rhythm and ease
Well, a-readin', writin', rithmetic
Taught to the tune of a licorice stick
No education is ever complete
Without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat, well all reet
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 'em really fit
To say their ABCs with rhythm and ease
Well, a-readin', writin', 'rithmetic
Taught to the tune of a licorice stick
No education is ever complete
Without a boogie-woogie-woogie beat, well all reet
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 'em really fit
To say their ABCs with rhythm and ease
William John Clifton Haley, meglio conosciuto come Bill Haley (Detroit, 5 luglio 1925 – Londra, 9 febbraio 1981), è stato un cantante, musicista e attore statunitense considerato uno dei pionieri del rock and roll. Fondatore della band Bill Haley and His Comets, ha portato il genere a una popolarità mondiale negli anni '50. Il suo stile energico, basato su blues, country e rhythm and blues, ha influenzato generazioni di musicisti. Il brano più famoso di Haley è «Rock Around the Clock», pubblicato nel 1954 e diventato un inno del rock and roll. La canzone raggiunse la vetta delle classifiche americane e britanniche, contribuendo a definire l'immagine della cultura giovanile dell'epoca. Il successo di «Rock Around the Clock» fu amplificato dalla sua inclusione nella colonna sonora del film «Il seme della violenza» (1955) e dal suo utilizzo come sigla della sitcom «Happy Days» (dal 1974). Oltre a «Rock Around the Clock», altri brani rappresentativi di Haley includono «Shake, Rattle and Roll», «See You Later Alligator» e «I'm Gonna Love You Forever». Haley ha pubblicato numerosi album durante la sua carriera, tra cui «Bill Haley and His Comets» (1953) e «Rock Around the Clock» (1954). La sua eredità musicale è stata riconosciuta con l'inclusione nella Rock and Roll Hall of Fame nel 1987.
