Lyrics
“School Zone” by Nikolas Allen
Used to be a leadfoot
Kept it heavy on that there accelerator
Dive into the river
Just to tussle with meanest alligator
Take another shot of petrol
Cuz I need a little fuel to keep it goin'
Yellow diamond sign ahead is flashing
Better think of slowing
You’re in a school zone
Ooh, ooh
You need to slow down
Ooh-ooh
You’re in a school zone
Ooh-ooh
Your time is short now
Wooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
Used to know a young man
He had the whole damn world and more to live for
Handsome, smart, and talented
In fact, nobody could have asked for more no
But he came to a decision
And by then it was too late to take it back
Climbed that nearest railroad bridge
And laid his weary bones upon the tracks - oh no!
You’re in a school zone
Ooh, ooh
You need to slow down
Ooh-ooh
You’re in a school zone
Ooh-ooh
Your time is short now
Wooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh-ooh
And this moment, oh this moment
Is all we ever have
You know it’s gone, gone, gone, gone
In the blink of an eye
Bullet trains and motorbikes
You can go fast as you like
Won’t make it out alive
Slow your roll, ease your pace
Ain’t no way to win this race
You might as well survive, yeah
Hey na na na, na na na
Shooby dooby doo wop, doo wah baby
Hey na na na, na na na
Ska-bippety-bop boop
Ba doo wop, ba dee dah (x2)
School zone, Ooh, ooh
Slow down, Ooh, ooh
School zone, ooh, ooh
Time is short now, ooh, ooh (2x)
