[Verse 1: Kerry Minnear]
The bell rings and all things are calling
The days past, the play's cast
Remember, September
When we were together
Together, together?

[Chorus: Kerry Minnear]
Schooldays, the happy days
When we were going nowhere
School time, the happy time
When we were feeling no care
Schooldays when we three said
That we'd be friends forever

[Post-Chorus: Kerry Minnear]
How long is ever? Isn't it strange?
Schooldays together, why do they change?
How long is ever? Isn't it strange?

[Verse 2: Kerry Minnear]
Did kites fly and I spy
And you cry to run fast or come last?
You know how we made vows?
They're gone now, we made friends
We broke friends, no more friends
[Chorus: Kerry Minnear]
Schooldays, the happy days
When we were going nowhere
School time, the happy time
When we were feeling no care

[Segue: Kerry Minnear]
How long is ever? Isn't it strange?
Schooldays together, why do they change?
How long is ever? Isn't it strange?
Schooldays together, why do they change?
How long is ever? Isn't it strange?
Schooldays together, why do they change?
How long is ever? Isn't it strange?
Schooldays together, why do they change?
How long is ever? Isn't it strange?
Schooldays together, why do they change?
How long is ever? Isn't it strange?
Schooldays together, why do they change?
How long is ever? Isn't it strange?

[Piano Interlude 3:00–3:56]

[Verse 3: Kerry Minnear, Calvin Shulman]
Remember, remember when we
Together went to the sea?
Seagull's scream and pink ice cream (Was it real)
And the deep blue sky and the waves seem high (Or did we dream?)
And golden sand (The days of)
And the town brass band plays on (Children gone)
[Verse 4: Kerry Minnear, Calvin Shulman]
Wait for me, wait for us always
Wait for me, wait for us to come
Mister Watson wants to see you (Homework's dull)
In the master's room (It's worth the pain)
It's about the work you should have done (To go out)
And I think you must go now (When I want)

[Bridge: Kerry Minnear]
Remember
Gone, gone, gone

[Instrumental Break 6:02–6:47]
[Vibraphone Solo]

[Outro: Kerry Minnear]
How long is ever? Isn't it strange?
Schooldays together, why do they change?
How long is ever? Isn't it strange?
Schooldays together, why do they change?
How long is ever? Isn't it strange?
Schooldays together, why do they change?
How long is ever? Isn't it strange?
Schooldays together, why do they change?
