The Don & Bob Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Can I go home with you?
Tell your mama and your daddy,
That I'm a little schoolboy too.
Baby I love you,
I just can't help help myself.
I don't need nobody else.
Good morning little schoolgirl,
Can I go home with you?
Uh, uh, uh...
I'm gonna leave you baby,
About the break of day
On account of the way you treat me,
I've got to stay away.
A good morning little schoolgirl,
Can I go home with you?
Tell your mama and your daddy,
That I'm a little schoolboy too.
Come on pretty baby,
Oh you know I can't help myself.
Uh, uh, uh...
I'm gonna buy me an aeroplane,
To fly all over your town.
And tell everybody baby,
Lord knows you've been putting me down.
I can't stand it babe,
Just cannot help myself
Your're so young and pretty,
But you're lovin' somebody else
A good morning little schoolgirl,
Can I go home with you?
Uh, uh, uh...
Oh babe what you do to me,
I can't help myself.
The lyrics to "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" by The Don & Bob's can be interpreted as a tale of infatuation and longing for a young schoolgirl. The singer expresses his desire to go home with the girl, but also acknowledges that he is just a schoolboy himself. This hints at the innocence and naivety of their affections.
The singer professes his love for the girl and admits that he cannot control his feelings for her. He finds her attractive and claims that he doesn't need anybody else because of her beauty. This indicates a strong physical attraction towards the schoolgirl.
However, the singer also expresses a sense of dissatisfaction due to the way the girl treats him. He plans to leave her around the break of day to distance himself from the hurt she causes him. This suggests that despite being infatuated with her, he recognizes the negative effects of their relationship and decides to prioritize his own well-being.
In the final verse, the singer contemplates buying an airplane to fly all over the girl's town and make everyone aware of how she has mistreated him. He is unable to tolerate the situation any longer and acknowledges that although the girl is young and pretty, she is already involved with someone else.
Overall, the song portrays a situation where the singer is deeply infatuated with a schoolgirl but is also aware of the negative aspects of their relationship. He struggles with his emotions and eventually decides to distance himself from her due to the way she treats him.

Fantastic! Soo glad that I have finally managed to find this. Grew up listening to my dad's copy on 'Old Gold'. A far superior and rocking version to the likes of Rod Stewart. That guitar break is simply phenomenal. Thanks again !!

Clearly, this is the version the YARDBIRDS modeled their recording after!

Good morning, My name is Etta Marie Love-McLaurian. I am the daughter of Robert June Love. I was named after Etta James my dad had the opportunity to record with her at Chess Records.I have been working since 1989 on the history of the song Good morning Little Schoolgirl.Through my research I have learned that a true chess game has been being played for along time with who get's credit as the writer of this composition as well as who is being compensated.

Also neither received the full credit, money and the glory produced... I guess that is the way it was back then....

The bass makes so many mistakes.
