"School's Out" is a song by Alice Cooper for his album of the same name. It was written by the Alice Cooper band.

Ke$ha has performed the song with Cooper three times; during her Get $leazy Tour, with Cooper's supergroup, Hollywood Vampires, as a medley with "Brick and another time within a medley of "School's Out" and "Another Brick in the Wall" (originally by Pink Floyd), and with Cooper alone during his set in 2011 along with another song called "Elected".

Background[]

Cooper was inspired to write the song when answering the question, "What's the greatest three minutes of your life?". Cooper said: "There's two times during the year. One is Christmas morning, when you're just getting ready to open the presents. The greed factor is right there. The next one is the last three minutes of the last day of school when you're sitting there and it's like a slow fuse burning. I said, 'If we can catch that three minutes in a song, it's going to be so big.'"

Lyrics[]

Well we got no choice
All the girls and boys
Making all that noise
'Cause they found new toys
Well we can't salute ya
Can't find a flag
If that don't suit ya
That's a drag

School's out for summer
School's out forever
School's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Well we got no class
And we got no principles
And we got no innocence
We can't even think of a word that rhymes

School's out for summer
School's out forever
My school's been blown to pieces

No more pencils
No more books
No more teacher's dirty looks

Out for summer
Out till fall
We might not go back at all

School's out forever
School's out for summer
School's out with fever
School's out completely
