School Days

"School Days" is the very first song of the Season One episode, "Cartman Gets an Anal Probe". School Days was written in 1907 as sheet music and recorded by many artists over the years.

Background
The boys Eric Cartman, Kyle Broflovski, Stan Marsh, and Kenny McCormick are introduced at the Bus Stop singing this song when Ike Broflovski runs up interrupting them.

The scene was recreated in the Season Seven episode, "Cancelled". This version had the boys saying and acting out everything from the first episode except in a more profane manner.

Lyrics
Portion of the song heard: School days, school days Teachers Golden Rule days Full version of the chorus: School days, school days Dear old Golden Rule days 'Reading and 'riting and 'rithmetic Taught to the tune of the hick'ry stick You were my queen in calico I was your bashful, barefoot beau And you wrote on my slate, "I Love You So" When we were a couple o' kids
