The lyrics to Johnny Winter's song "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" are about a young man who is infatuated with a little schoolgirl. He repeatedly asks if he can go home with her and promises to tell her mother and father that he, too, is a little schoolboy. The singer also declares that he will buy an airplane and fly all over town to find his little schoolgirl, and that he won't set the airplane down until he finds her.
The lyrics are about a young man who is both innocent and romantic in his intentions towards the little schoolgirl. He remembers back to when he was twelve years old and he too was looking for a schoolgirl to be with. The phrase "eat my jelly roll" was used back in the day to mean to have sex. The song's structure is a 12-bar blues, which is a common structure used in blues music.
The song was originally written and recorded by Sonny Boy Williamson II in 1937, but it was popularized by Johnny Winter's version in 1968. Winter's version was included in his album "The Progressive Blues Experiment". The song has since been covered by many artists, including The Grateful Dead, Ten Years After, and Aerosmith.
