Lyrics:
Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are going to be friends
I can tell that we are going to be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
Through the park and by the tree
We will rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we found
Safely walk to school without a sound
Safely walk to school without a sound

Here we are, no one else
We walk to school all by ourselves
There's dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now it's time to learn
We clean up and now it's time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
Nouns, and books, and show and tell
Playtime, we will throw the ball
Back to class, through the hall
Teacher marks our height against the wall
Teacher marks our height against the wall

And we don't notice any time pass
We don't notice anything
We sit side by side in every class
Teacher thinks that I sound funny
But she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream, while I’m in bed
When silly thoughts go through my head
About the bugs and alphabet
And when I wake tomorrow, I'll bet
That you and I will walk together again

I can tell that we are going to be friends
Yes, I can tell that we are going to be friends

I love the nonexistent memories this brings me

[normal]

This song brings back old memories of me and my best friend Jake. He died of brain cancer a year ago today. I miss him every day.

[novadowdell]

my dad used to sing this to me, i remember one time instead of singing “susie lee” he sang “nova lee” (my name) and i have very fond memories connected to this song

[adrian_veidt]

14 years later, this is still an underrated song.

Jericky brought me back here lol

Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are going to be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
Through the park and by the tree
We will rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we found
Safely walk to school without a sound

Here we are, no one else
We walked to school all by ourselves
There's dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now its time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
Nouns, and books, and show and tell
Playtime we will throw the ball
Back to class, through the hall
Teacher marks our height against the wall

We don't notice any time pass
We don't notice anything
We sit side by side in every class
Teacher thinks that I sound funny
But she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream while in my bed
When silly thoughts go through my head
About the bugs and alphabet
And when I wake tomorrow I'll bet
That you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are going to be friends
Cause I can tell we are going to be friends

"We didn't realize we were making memories, we just knew we were having fun."
- Winnie the Pooh

[frankreads]

This is one of the most truthful songs about childhood ever written. The line that hits hardest is "We don't notice any time pass." That's so true. When you're a kid in elementary school, you're so focused on school, growing, and being a kid, that you really don't notice any time pass. And then one day you look around and your childhood is over, elementary school was 25 years ago, and you haven't heard from your friends in years.

[Belenus]

I had a friend who said he never wanted to be an adult. When he was 18, he kept his word. This was one of his favorite songs. I still cherish it, ten years later.

[lillysomerset]

This song kinda makes me feel so warm and happy but heartbroken at the same time I don't know why but I kinda really like :(:

[kviehdor]

I have so much respect for the approach to this song. It's proof that you don't need a big label, a big band, or a producer to write awesome material. You just need a guitar and yourself.

[misterantman]

This song hits different after high school

[acovenofmany]

This was the first, and last, song I would play for each of the 18 kindergarten classes that I taught.

I just had a student of mine, from 2004, tag me with this song. He said it made him nostalgic, and he wanted to thank me for being his teacher, and helping him love school. He told me when he started med school last fall, he played this on his first day. 🥰🥰
I couldn’t be prouder.

I’m retired now, but I often think about how much I loved teaching, especially the years with Kindergarten, and later my 1st/2nd grade blend classes. I’ve been fortunate to hear from at least 2-3 of my students every year or so, since 2018, they’re all in university, or graduating, and going into some wonderful professions. I always think about those I haven’t heard from, and hope they’re all doing well, and enjoying their lives. 🥰

[georged]

all these people are commenting such deep stories and now i feel like i dont deserve to listen to this song

[jocelynisshy]

My friend loves this song, his name is angelo. My name is jocelyn so if u see this angelo, hi i miss you.

"What are you gonna do today Napoleon?"

"Whatever I feel like I'm gonna do GOSH"

[Kajiggger]

Remember first hearing it with Napoleon Dynamite, then Rick and Jerry reminded me of this.

[madibales]

THIS WAS A SONG FOR MY KINDERGARTEN GRADUATION??? I'VE BEEN LOOKING FOR THIS SONG FOR A DECADE

[kellenoconnor]

Well, tomorrow, I start Sophmore Year. Wish me luck everyone, I listen to this song every year the night before school starts

[amandalesage]

This had me sobbing today, my son is starting kindergarten this year and I’m so nervous for him. He’s just excited to make friends 🥲

[Curb_of_Art]

One the most pure hearted songs I've heard. This song is so well put and nostalgic. He's amazing.
