Good mo'nin, little school girl
Can I go home with you?
Can I go home, later wit' you?
Now, you can tell yo' mother an' yo' father, um
That Sonny Boy's a little school boy, too
I woke up-a this mo'nin'
Lord, n' I couldn't make me no
Lord, I couldn't make me, no town
Well, but I didn't have no blues, woman
But I was all messed up 'n down
Now, you be my baby, mm
Come on an' be my baby, mm
I'll buy you a diamond
I'll buy you a diamond ring
Well, if you don't be my little woman
Then I won't buy you a doggone thing
I'm 'on buy me a airplane
I'm 'on buy me a airplane
I'm 'on fly all over this land
I'm 'on fly all over this land's town
Don't find the woman that I'm lovin'
Then I ain't goin' to let my airplane down
I do no hollerin'
I do no hollerin'
Baby, what in this world, I'm gon' do
Baby, what in this world, I'm gon' do
Well, said I don't wan' never hurt yo' feelin'
Or either get mad what you'll do
The lyrics of Les Paul feat. Buddy Guy Keith Richard & Rick Derringer's song Good Morning Little Schoolgirl are about a man who wakes up in the morning and sees a young girl walking to school. He asks if he can go home with her later, and even mentions that he's a little schoolboy himself. He then goes on to say that he couldn't make it to town, but that he's not necessarily feeling bluesy. The man then tries to convince the girl to be his baby, offering to buy her a diamond ring. He finally says that he's going to buy an airplane and fly all over looking for the woman he loves.
The song has a classic blues structure, with a repeating set of chords that back the vocals. The lyrics can be interpreted as expressing a desire for companionship, but the way that they are presented is quite suggestive. The man appeals to the girl directly ("Can I go home with you?", "You be my baby", "Come on and be my baby"), but for the most part, he is talking about what he is going to do rather than trying to woo her with romance. It feels like he is bragging about his coolness, but from a contemporary perspective, it comes off as a little creepy.
