summer's over and the bells are ringin'   down the halls the girls are singin'   to the boys who will be bringin'   their science books to class   it's 2 o'clock and they can't sit still   brains are tired and they've lost their will   to pay attention then they get that chill   that begs the time to pass      ''cause all the kids   can't wait to go home   and turn on the radio   it's alive on the 45   with no place else to go   will I know      the kids are goin' crazy   for the high school rock   drivin' mom crazy   with the high school rock   rock, rock, rockin'   to the high school rock and roll      notes are passin' all around the room   homecoming is comin' soon   and the guys are gonna meet their doom   if they don't learn how to dance   the nurse's office is gettin' full   with all the boys that think they're cool   enough to get sent home from school   so they won't leave much to chance
