This is one of my favorite songs. https://fnfgo.io
White chalk, written on red brick
Our love, told in a heart
It's there, drawn in the playground
Love, kiss, hate or adore
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
I used to carry her satchels
She used to walk by my side
But when we got to her doorstep
Her dad wouldn't let me inside
One Monday morning,
Found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking,
Had she done the same?
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
One Monday morning,
Found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking,
Had she done the same?
I hope Jennifer Eccles
Is going to follow me there
Our love is bound to continue
Love, kiss, hate or adore
Singing
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
Our love, told in a heart
It's there, drawn in the playground
Love, kiss, hate or adore
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
I used to carry her satchels
She used to walk by my side
But when we got to her doorstep
Her dad wouldn't let me inside
One Monday morning,
Found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking,
Had she done the same?
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
One Monday morning,
Found out I'd made the grade
Started me thinking,
Had she done the same?
I hope Jennifer Eccles
Is going to follow me there
Our love is bound to continue
Love, kiss, hate or adore
Singing
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
I love Jennifer Eccles
I know that she loves me
La la la la la la la
La la la la la la
La la la la la la la

People outside the UK might not know what "found out I'd made the grade" is about. It refers to the results of the "eleven plus" exam that was (and in some counties, still is) given at the end of primary school, typically at age 11, which would determine what sort of secondary school a student would go on to attend. In this case, the singer has presumably passed the high level of the test, which would qualify him for grammar school (the academic path), and he wonders if Jennifer Eccles might have qualified to be in the same school as he next year.
This bit shows that these two kids are most likely 11 years old, something otherwise not entirely obvious from the lyrics.
