I'm standing barefoot
lost in the tall grass
a place so quiet
it's as if I were never born
the clouds are leaving
beneath the setting sun
watch out for her
she can give you dreams
she didn't know I saw her
kneeling by the water
her mother always fought her
didn't love her daughter
she didn't know I saw her
waiting by the river
I wish her gone
so I can want her back
she is my laugh
I am her laughter
I am her face
and she is mine
I want to join her
but I cannot move
now together
I cannot loseHey, Schoolgirl in the second row
The teacher's lookin' over
so I got to whisper way down low
To say, "Who-bop-a-loo-chi-bop, let's meet
after school at three."
1. She said, "Hey, babe, but there is one thing more
My school is over at half past four
Maybe when we're older then we can date
O - oh, let's wait!"
Hey, Schoolgirl in the second row
The teacher's lookin' over

after school at three."
2. She said, "Hey, babe, I gotta lot to do,
It takes me hours till my homework's thru,
Someday we'll go steady, so don't you fret.
O - oh, not yet!"

3. Then she turned around to me
with that gleam in her eye
She said, "I'm sorry if I passed you by,
I'm gonna skip my homework
gonna cut my class,
Bug out of here real fast."
Hey, Schoolgirl in the second row
Now we're going steady,
hear the words that I want you to know
Well it's "Who-bop-a-loo-chi-bop, you're mine,
I knew it all the time."
Who-bop-a-loo-chi-bop, hah, you're mine
