The song Schooldays is performed by Kate & Anna McGarrigle in the album named The McGarrigle Hour in the year 1998 .



In Delaware when I was younger
I would live the life obscene
In the spring I had great hunger
I was Brando I was dean

Blaspheming booted blue-jeaned baby boy
Oh how I made them turn their heads
The townie brownie girls they jumped for joy
Begged me bless them in their beds

In Delaware when I was younger
I would row upon the lake
In the spring I had great hunger
I was Keats I was Blake

My pimpled pencil pains I'd bring
To frogs who sat entranced
My drift-dreamed ditties I would sing
The water strider danced

In Delaware when I was younger
I thought St. Andrew had sufficed
In the spring I had great hunger
I was Buddha, I was Christ

You wicked wisemen where's your wonder
You pharisees someday will pay
See my lightning hear my thunder
I am truth I know the way
In Delaware when I was younger
