    Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?
    Tell your mama and your papa I'm a little schoolboy too.
    Come on now pretty baby I just can't help myself
    You're so young and pretty I don't need nobody else.

    Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?
    Don't you hear me crying?

    I'm gonna leave you baby about the break of day
    On account of the way you treat me, I got to stay away.
    Come on now pretty baby darling come on home
    You know I love you baby, I got to get you all alone.

    Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?
    Can't you hear me crying?

    I'm gonna buy me an airplane and fly all over your town
    Tell everybody baby, lord knows you're fine
    Come on pretty baby now, I just can't help myself
    You're so young and pretty I don't need nobody else.

    Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?
    Don't you hear me crying?

    Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?
    Good morning little schoolgirl, can I come home with you?
    Tell your mama and your papa I'm a little schoolboy too.
    I'm a schoolboy, too. Hey, I'm a schoolboy, too.

    I want to be your chauffeur, I want to ride your little machine
    I want to be your chauffeur, I want to ride your little machine
    I want to put a tiger, baby I want to put a tiger, baby.
    I want to put a tiger, baby, hey in your sweet little tank.

    Hey baby now yes I do ha, yes I do
    Hey I got to hey, I got to come on home with you
    Tell your mama, tell your papa, tell your mama and your papa
    Hey, I'm a schoolboy, too, hey, hey, I'm a schoolboy, too.
    Ha oww, I'm a schoolboy, too, ow, I wanna keep your company
    Hey I wanna keep your company.

    Sung by Pigpen in the early days of the Grateful Dead, and much later revived occasionally by Bob Weir. Pigpen's rap after the third verses varied from performance to performance. This is the (extended) version on the first Grateful Dead album. (1) in some versions, Pigpen sang "... rider why don't why you just ride on home" rather than "... I told you to come on home" (2) in some versions, Pigpen sang "Tell everybody baby, what you done put me down" and in the next line, "I know I need you darling, I just can't help myself" (3) in later versions, Pigpen sang "I want to get behind your driving wheel" instead of "... ride your little machine"
