Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Good morning, little schoolgirl.
Good morning, little schoolgirl.
Can I go home with you?
Won't you let me go home with you,
So I can hug, hug, squeeze, squeeze?
If you let me I can tease you baby.
Hey, hey hey hey. Hey hey hey hey. Hey, yeah.

Let's dance, little schoolgirl.
Let's dance, little schoolgirl.
Won't you let me take you to the hop, hop,
Have a party at the soda shop
So we can do the twist, do the stroll
To the music of the rock 'n' roll.
Hey, hey hey hey. Hey hey hey hey. Hey, yeah.

Good morning, little schoolgirl.
Good morning, little schoolgirl.
Can I go home with you?
Won't you let me go home with you,
So I can hug, hug, squeeze, squeeze?
If you let me I can tease you baby.
Hey, hey hey hey. Hey hey hey hey. Hey, yeah.

Good morning, little schoolgirl.
Good morning, little schoolgirl.
Can I go home with you?
Won't you let me go home with you?
Tell your mama and your papa that I love you.
Tell your sisters and your brother that I love you.

Hey, hey hey hey. Hey, hey hey hey.
Hey, hey hey hey. Hey, hey hey hey.

Overall Meaning

The Yardbirds' song "Good Morning Little Schoolgirl" is a blues rock classic that has been covered by various artists over the years. The song features Eric Clapton on guitar and emphasizes the lyrical theme of a young man's desires for a high school girl in the most suggestive way possible.

The song begins with the line "Good Morning, little schoolgirl," and it serves as a common salutation between the singer and the girl. The lyrics continue with the singer attempting to persuade the girl to take him home with her to "hug, hug, squeeze, squeeze." The lyrics are flirtatious and suggestive, with the singer alluding to his sexual desires for the girl by teasing her and promising to take her to parties where they can dance the twist and the stroll.

As the song progresses, the singer attempts to convince the girl to let him take her home by proclaiming his love for her to her family members. The song's lyrics are controversial, as they promote underage relationships and objectify women. However, they also serve as a prime example of the blues tradition of using sexual innuendos and metaphors to discuss taboo topics.
