  *++Lyrics:|\\
Nothing to do, Nellie darling\\
Nothing to do, you say;\\
Let's take a trip\\
On memory's ship\\
Back to the bygone days.\\
Sail to the old village schoolhouse,\\
Anchor outside the school door;\\
Look in and see\\
There's you and there's me\\
A couple of kids once more.\\
\\
//chorus: //\\
School days, school days\\
Dear old golden rule days\\
Readin' and writin' and 'rithmetic\\
Taught to the tune of a hick'ry stick,\\
You were my queen in calico,\\
I was your bashful, barefoot beau\\
And you wrote on my slate;\\
"I love you, Joe"\\
When we were a couple of kids.\\
\\
