"We're Going To Be Friends" lyrics

"We're Going To Be Friends"

Fall is here, hear the yell
Back to school, ring the bell
Brand new shoes, walking blues
Climb the fence, books and pens
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
I can tell that we are gonna be friends

Walk with me, Suzy Lee
Through the park and by the tree
We will rest upon the ground
And look at all the bugs we found
Safely walk to school without a sound
Safely walk to school without a sound

Here we are, no one else
We walk to school all by ourselves
There's dirt on our uniforms
From chasing all the ants and worms
We clean up and now it's time to learn
We clean up and now it's time to learn

Numbers, letters, learn to spell
Nouns, and books, and show and tell
Playtime, we will throw the ball
Back to class, through the hall
Teacher marks our height against the wall
Teacher marks our height against the wall

And we don't notice any time pass
We don't notice anything
We sit side by side in every class
Teacher thinks that I sound funny
But she likes the way you sing

Tonight I'll dream, while I'm in bed
When silly thoughts go through my head
About the bugs and alphabet
And when I wake tomorrow, I'll bet
That you and I will walk together again
I can tell that we are gonna be friends
Yes, I can tell that we are gonna be friends

The band played this track during their first Saturday Night Live appearance on the 19th of October 2002.
Their "The White Stripes" (1999) album has a song "Suzy Lee", and their "Get Behind Me Satan" (2005) album was dedicated to Suzy Lee.
A slower version of this song was sung during the last public performance by the duo on the 20th of February 2009. The event took place on the final episode of Late Night with Conan O'Brien. Meg White played guitar and sang next to Jack White. O'Brien asked them to play the song because it is one of his favourite.
This song is featured at the beginning of the 2004 film "Napoleon Dynamite".
