Hey girl, let me carry your schoolbooks
See, I like the way that you look
Come on, let me walk along
So I can protect you from all that is wrong
See, I heard Johnny and Joe talking
About how they were going to make you cry
And they say they're gonna pull your pigtail
And I asked them the reason why
They told me to mind my business
It didn't concern me, they only wanted you
And then I told them that they'd better be careful
'Cause if they bothered you, they'd have to mess with me too
Hey girl, let me carry your schoolbooks
Hey girl, let me walk you home
See, I wanna love and protect you
From all that might do you wrong
Now let me carry your schoolbooks
Let me walk you home
So Johnny and Joe will leave you alone
Let me carry your schoolbooks
I'd like to, so let me, let me carry your schoolbooks
Hey girl! (Yeah, yeah, yeah)
Uh-huh, yeah
Hey girl, let me carry your schoolbooks
Come on, let me carry your schoolbooks
Hey girl, let me carry your schoolbooks
While I walk you home
So Johnny and Joe will know we got a thing going on
We'll get together tomorrow at lunch time
So I can tell you something that's on my mind
Let's try to do our homework together
'Cause two can solve those problems oh so much better
And one more thing girl, before you go
'Cause I see your mother standing at the door
Tell her don't worry about Johnny and Joe
Now that you've got me, she don't have to worry no more
Hey girl, let me carry your schoolbooks
Hey girl, let me walk you home
Hey girl, let me carry your schoolbooks
