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, better known as Bill Haley (Detroit, July 5, 1925 – London, February 9, 1981), was an American singer, musician, and actor considered one of the pioneers of rock and roll. Founder of the band Bill Haley and His Comets, he brought the genre to worldwide popularity in the 1950s. His energetic style, based on blues, country, and rhythm and blues, influenced generations of musicians. Haley's most famous song is «Rock Around the Clock», released in 1954 and becoming a rock and roll anthem. The song topped the American and British charts, contributing to defining the image of youth culture at the time. The success of «Rock Around the Clock» was amplified by its inclusion in the soundtrack of the film «Rebel Without a Cause» (1955) and its use as the theme song for the sitcom «Happy Days» (from 1974). Besides «Rock Around the Clock», other representative songs by Haley include «Shake, Rattle and Roll», «See You Later Alligator», and «I'm Gonna Love You Forever». Haley released numerous albums during his career, including «Bill Haley and His Comets» (1953) and «Rock Around the Clock» (1954). His musical legacy was recognized with his induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1987.
