Fall is here, hear the yell  
  
Back to school, ring the bell

Brand new shoes, walking blues  
D  
Climb the fence, books and pens

I can tell that we are going to be friends  
A                   G                   D  
Yes I can tell that we are going to be friends  
  
D  
Walk with me Suzy Lee  
  
Through the park and by the tree  
G  
We can rest upon the ground  
D  
And look at all the bugs we've found  
A                 G              D  
Safely walk to school without a sound  
A                    G              D  
We safely walk to school without a sound  
  
D  
Well here we are no one else  
  
We walk to school all by ourselves  
G  
There's dirt on our uniforms  
D  
From chasing all the ants and worms  
A               G                D  
We clean up and now it's time to learn  
A               G                D  
We clean up and now it's time to learn  
  
D  
Numbers letters learn to spell  
  
Nouns and books and show and tell  
G  
Play time we will throw the ball  
D  
Then back to class through the hall  
A                      G                 D  
The teacher marks our height against the wall  
A                      G                 D  
The teacher marks our height against the wall  
  
G                       D  
And we don't notice any time pass  
G                       D  
Because we don't notice anything  
E  
And we sit side by side in every class  
G  
The teacher thinks that I sound funny  
         A  
But she likes it when you sing  
  
D  
Tonight I'll dream in my bed  
  
While silly thoughts run through my head  
G  
Of the bugs and alphabet  
D  
And when I wake tomorrow I'll bet  
A                   G              D  
That you and I will walk together again  
A                       G                  D  
Because I can tell that we are going to be friends  
A               G                   D  
I can tell that we are going to be friends
