School Days (Ring Ring Goes The Bell)

From Wikipedia:

“School Days” (also known as “School Day (Ring! Ring! Goes the Bell)”) is a rock-and-roll song written and recorded by Chuck Berry and released by Chess Records as a single in March 1957 and on the LP After School Session two months later (see 1957 in music). It is one of his best-known songs and is often considered a rock-and-roll anthem.

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 concert film and documentary about Berry; the song itself is also commonly mistitled as Hail Hail Rock and Roll. Much of the song’s musical arrangement was reused by Berry in 1964 in “No Particular Place to Go”. A similar arrangement, though quite different, was also used for “Big Ben”.
