Lyrics
The wood dry, but it still heavy
The wood dry, but it still heavy
So dry, bone dry
It was more than one, and two, and three
And four, and five, and six of us
Went to the wood bush
"I-man forgot I axe," I said
Lend me your axe, will you lend it to me?
Lend me your axe, lend me your axe
Lend me your axe
I know and I-man know
You got to run around
And play some kinds of game
Now, I come, I say
"Help me down, will someone?
Help me down, this wood dry, but it's heavy
Help me down, give I a-helping hand
Help me down, help me down"
Some have a-iron, electric iron
Some have a-iron, wood fire iron
Anyway
Warm up your iron
Press up the uniform, them khaki pants and shirt involve
Monday morning coming
Sing it
School days, school days
Please, obey
Hear what your mother say
This is, this is, this is, this is
School days, school days
The wood dry, but it still heavy
The wood dry, but it still heavy
Bone dry, but it still heavy
So dry, but it still heavy
Well dry, but it still heavy
Drier than dry, but it still heavy
The wood dry, but it still heavy
The wood dry, but it still heavy
Yeah
It was more than one, and two, and three
And four, and five, and six of us
Been to the wood bush
I-man forgot I axe
Oh, will you lend me your axe?
