School Is Out Lyrics

School is out now we're gonna have some fun.
We're gonna make like we are the only ones.

I'm gonna buy a piece of the sky and sell passing clouds
I'm gonna be a mayor of some small town and tax the crowds
I'm gonna be a local surveyor and study the foreman {guilds?}
I'm gonna line up some of the finest girls that are in the world!

We're coming out of school today and we're so happy to be alive.
It's gonna be the best day, the best day of our lives.

Mmmm....

I'm gonna be a history maker I'll call myself Richard the Third.
I'm gonna buy an amplifier and shout out "Have you heard?"

We're coming out of school today and we're so happy to be alive.
It's gonna be the best day, the best day of our lives.

We're coming out of school today...baby...

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.
