Good Morning Little Schoolgirl
The Dead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tell your mama and your papa I'm a little schoolboy too
Come on now pretty baby I just can't help myself
You're so young and pretty I don't need nobody else
Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?
Don't you hear me crying?
On account of the way you treat me, I got to stay away
Come on now pretty baby darling come on home
You know I love you baby, I got to get you all alone
Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?
Can't you hear me crying?
I'm gonna buy me an airplane and fly all over your town
Tell everybody baby, lord knows you're fine
Come on pretty baby now, I just can't help myself
You're so young and pretty I don't need nobody else
Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?
Don't you hear me crying?
Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?
Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?
Tell your mama and your papa I'm a little schoolboy too
I'm a schoolboy, too. Hey, I'm a schoolboy, too
I want to be your chauffeur, I want to ride your little machine
I want to be your chauffeur, I want to ride your little machine
I want to put a tiger, baby I want to put a tiger, baby
I want to put a tiger, baby, hey in your sweet little tank
Hey baby now yes I do ha, yes I do
Hey I got to hey, I got to come on home with you
Tell your mama, tell your papa, tell your mama and your papa
Hey, I'm a schoolboy, too, hey, hey, I'm a schoolboy, too
Ha oww, I'm a schoolboy, too, ow, I wanna keep your company
Hey I wanna keep your company
The Dead's song Good Morning Little Schoolgirl is a cover of a blues classic that was originally recorded by Sonny Boy Williamson in 1937. The song's lyrics follow a man who is interested in a young and pretty schoolgirl, asking her if he can come home with her. The man insists that he is also a schoolboy, indicating that he is possibly around the same age as the girl. However, he is not deterred by their age difference and pursues her in a flirtatious manner throughout the song.
The repeated lines "Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?" and "Don't you hear me crying?" create a sense of pleading and desperation, indicating the man's desire to be with the girl. He is willing to leave at the break of day, perhaps to avoid being caught by her parents, but is insistent on getting her alone, declaring his love for her.
The final verse of the song takes a slightly different turn, with the man expressing his desire to be the girl's chauffeur and ride her "little machine," which is likely a reference to a motorcycle. He wants to put a tiger in her tank, which could be interpreted both literally as gasoline for the motorcycle or metaphorically as adding excitement to her life. The repeated declaration of "I'm a schoolboy, too" serves as a reminder that despite his suggestive language, he is still young and inexperienced as well.
