In the heat of the day down in mobile Alabama Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer Gotta make some money to buy some brand new shoes Tryin' to find somebody to take away these blues She don't love me hear them singing in the Sun Payday's coming and my work is all done Later in the evening when the Sun is sinking low All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow Sitting in a teepee built right on the tracks Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back Pick up you belongings boys and scatter about We've got an off-schedule train comin' two miles about Everybody's scrambling, running around Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down Foreman wants to panic, ? Bout to go insane Trying to get the workers out the way of the train Engineer blows the whistle loud and long Can't stop the train, gotta let it roll on

A faixa “School Days” foi gravada e lançada como single pela Chess Records em março de 1957 e, dois meses depois, apareceu no LP *After School Session*.
O último verso contém a frase “Hail, hail rock and roll / Deliver me from the days of old”, que inspirou o título do filme de concertos e documentário de 1987, *Hail! Hail! Rock and Roll*.
O arranjo musical de “School Days” foi reaproveitado por Chuck Berry em 1964 para a música “No Particular Place to Go”.
A mesma estrutura de arranjo, embora diferente, também serviu de base para o tema “Big Ben”.
