fall is here
hear the yell
back to school
ring the bell
brand new shows
walking blues
climb the fence
books and pens
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
walk with me
suzy lee
through the park and by the tree
we will rest upon the ground
and look at all the bugs we found
safely walk to school without a sound
safely walk to school without a sound
here we are
no one else
we walked to school all by ourselves
there's dirt on our uniforms
from chasing all the ants and worms
we clean up and now it's time to learn
we clean up and now it's time to learn
numbers letters
learn to spell
nouns and books
and show and tell
playtime we will throw the ball
back to class
through the hall
teacher marks our height against the wall
teacher marks our height against the wall
we don't notice any time pass
we don't notice anything
we sit side by side in every class
teacher thinks that I sound funny
but she likes the way you sing
tonight I'll dream
while I'm in bed
when silly thoughts
go through my head
about the bugs and alphabet
when I wake tomorrow I'll bet
that you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Jack White:
"I didn't really have much of a great time in grade school, so I like
writing about [walking to school with a girl named Suzy Lee and quickly
becoming pals]. I write about it a lot - actually having friends in grade
school and having a girlfriend or something back then when you really
wanted it. Kids are just so cruel sometimes. It's nice to fantasize that
they're not." |

There is a video for [We're Going To Be Friends]. The video released
on the dvds are cut at the end when they get up from the couch. The TV
version has this intact. |
