"School Days" (also known as "'''School Day (Ring! Ring! Goes The Bell)'''") is a Rock And Roll song written by Chuck Berry and recorded by him in 1957 . It is one of his best known songs and is often considered a rock and roll anthem. It was first released as a Single and later appeared as the lead track on Berry's first Album , '' After School Session ''. The song's structure is a basic Twelve Bar Blues with a rock and roll beat; the Guitar part imitates the vocal line with a one Measure delay. The Lyrics describe the stress and drudgery of a High School student's daily routine, and the sense of release that comes from dancing at the local Juke Joint after school. The last verse of the song contains the lyrics "Hail, hail rock and roll / Deliver me from the days of old." ''Hail! Hail! Rock and Roll'' became the title of a 1987 Documentary and Concert Film about Berry. PERSONNEL
