We're Going To Be Friends

The White Stripes · White Blood Cells [2002]

Fall is here, Hear the yell

Back to school, ring the bell

Brand new shoes, walking blues

Climb the fence, books and pens



I can tell that we are gonna be friends

I can tell that we are gonna be friends



Walk with me, Suzy Lee

Through the park and by the tree

We will rest upon the ground

And look at all the bugs we found



Safely walk to school without a sound

Safely walk to school without a sound



Here we are, no one else

We walked to school all by ourselves

There's dirt on our uniforms

From chasing all the ants and worms



We clean up and now its time to learn

We clean up and now its time to learn



Numbers, letters, learn to spell

Nouns and books and show and tell

Play time we will throw the ball

Back to class, through the hall



Teacher marks our height against the wall

Teacher marks our height against the wall



We don't notice any time pass

We don't notice anything

We sit side by side in every class

Teacher thinks that I sound funny

But she likes the way you sing



Tonite I'll dream while I'm in bed

When silly thoughts go through my head

About the bugs and alphabet

When I wake, tomorrow I'll bet



That you and I will walk together again

I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Yes, I can tell that we are gonna be friends
