Original Version
Chuck Berry recalled writing the song. "It was about my own memories of high school. The lyrics depict the way it was in my time. I had no idea what was going on in the classes during the time I composed it, much less what’s happening today. The phrases came to me spontaneously, and rhyming took up most of the time that was spent on the song. I remember leaving it twice to go get coffee and while out having some major lines come to me that would enhance the story in the song, causing me to rush back to my room and get them down."
