First Day of School

歌詞

The morn is full of birdsong and fall is in the air My hands are folded on my desk, I sit straight in my chair Today is my first day of school, I am not a dunce And I've got my box of crayons and a bag of lunch "What did you learn in school today?" my mother said to me I learned about the Indians and Johnny Appleseed The father of our country and the farmer in the dell And pledged allegiance to a flag and lined up at the bell Then outside at recess, a fire truck went by A second grader kissed a girl and learned to make her cry When I fell off the jungle gym, I almost broke my crown Ashes, ashes, ashes, we all fall down I like my pretty teacher, and she is fond of me When I am old enough, she'll call me to the spelling bee Someday she will assign me a poem to recite I'll marry her as soon as I can read and write
