Alice Cooper - Alma Mater Lyrics






Rain is falling down my cheek searching for the sea
Tomorrow like the rain I'll be back home again
I watch the bus as it pulls out of view
Someday like that bus I will be leavin' too
But you know it breaks my heart to leave you camelback my high school
And now alone cryin' in my beer
'cause old friends said goodbye I guess I'll be leavin' too
But you know it breaks my heart to leave you Cortez I'll miss you
Yes I will yes I will you know I will
Yes I will yes I will you know I will
Well so long so long everybody everybody I hope that I would see you again again
Goodbye goodbye everybody everybody I finally grew up they finally let me out of school
Hey remember the time remember the time
We took that snake and we we put it down little Betsy's dress
Now I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed
Now I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed
Well I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed
Oh goodbye goodbye everybody everybody I hope that I would see you again again
So long so long everybody everybody
How do you like that they finally let me out of school
Goodbye goodbye ah I wanna get out of here
They let me out of school how 'bout that uh
Goodbye hey goodbye guys
Maybe I'll see maybe I'll see you around some time uh
Ay don't make a stranger of yourself uh remember the Coop uh
May I ho I hope you don't forget me or nothin' goodbye

  1. M.... D....

    Batles'esque

  2. R.... R....

    Only the Alice Cooper band could end a song with Happy Trails and Taps combined.

  3. R.... ....

    when i first heard this 1973 ish i didn't realise how meaningful this track would be , i was 14 maybe 15 at the time and at age life seems like an endless ribbon of road waiting for you to start life journeys , no regrets !

  4. B.... W....

    Roy Ritchie.......This goes out to you, RIP my dear friend, great memories of listening to this album when we were young and indestructible, and a little stoned! lol miss ya mate

  5. S.... C....

    This And Generation Landslide Are Some Of His Best Songs \m/

  6. A.... G....

    Got this c.d. as a high school graduation gift it in 2011. Great album I still listen to it to this day. I always liked this song but it never really hit me as hard as it does today and I've only been out of school for 8yrs.

  7. P.... H....

    I wonder if Glen got detention from Miss Helen Axelrod for putting the snake down Betsy's dress ..

  8. P.... B....

    Like an outtake from the white album

  9. M.... ....

    My Physics teacher brought me here

  10. P.... G....

    I remember my older brothers were into Alice Cooper and how cool the album cover was like a school desk top. Amazingly the music is just as good today as it was then. Alice Cooper was one of the few amazing artists that dominated the Seventies and he is still performing now in his seventies.

  11. W.... ....

    THE COOPER GROUP

  12. B.... ....

    One of his finest albums.
    I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed.

  13. S.... E....

    The heart sisters song similar. From Dreamboat Annie. Watching the bus drive away the last day of highschool. Songs build on each other.

  14. S.... E....

    My favorite Alice Cooper song. Sorry Bessie.

  15. S.... F....

    What a great epic song!!!

  16. A.... M....

    This song so reminds me of my teenage years

  17. R.... C....

    Masterpiece

  18. K.... P....

    I went to my 47 year reunion at my highschool this past summer. It was fun and yet sad. 25 of my classmates have passed away. I was very happy to see most who I hadn’t seen since graduation. I wasn’t in any popular groups and didn’t participate in events or sports but it still fun seeing those regardless of status. It’s like coming back to the family.

    K.... P....

    K Pete I know what you mean... I left HS after my jr year to early graduation and the Navy... lost touch with a lot of folks quick, but vowed to make it....

  19. F.... L....

    I'm crying my past youth, i was 15 y.o. now 61. Sniff....

    F.... L....

    even worse. i am now 62. this song was a part of the soundtrack of my life.

    F.... L....

    hey man do not cry, be happy you lived bigger things

  20. F.... F....

    A genius.

  21. A.... Y....

    "Miss hasslebra' i miss her

    One of his finest albums.

    r.... c....

    robert curotte *their

  23. M.... M....

    Definitely a great legend Alice Cooper

  24. S.... F....

    The dislikes are all from Miss Axelrod

    S.... F....

    I don't think she was much impressed.

    S.... F....

    Possibly but I'd wager at least a few are from little Betsy.

  25. M.... ....

    Have this album but my mom threw away the panties that came with..fucking bitch!

  26. J.... S....

    Remember the Coop!

  27. A.... L....

  30. R.... W....

    I remember the Coop....

  31. N.... B....

    Was Miss Axelrod a teacher or was she little Betsy?

  32. m.... ....

    I hope... I hope ya don't forget me or nothin'

  33. S.... 1....

    Evokes "Black Hole Sun" to my ear. Maybe the track inspired Soundgarden...

    S.... 1....

    Chris Cornell appeared on Alice's much later The Last Temptation album,so yeah definitely an influence.

  34. P.... C....

    Camel Back my high school.

  35. N.... G....

    Alice in his prime and he went onto a nuther prime, than another, You gotta love Alice

  36. J.... Z....

    I don't think Miss Axelrod was much impressed.

  37. D.... B....

    Posted this to my 40th high school reunion website, hope it drums up business. 40 fu*#kn years. Never went before so why not now!

  38. J.... M....

    I love the ending. I wish that part could go on a little longer.

    J.... M....

    Jimmy Mack it does, listen to the final track on this album that connects to this song, Grande Finale

  39. s.... ....

    Thanks loads.

  40. T.... N....

    Cortez 77!

  41. M.... S....

    People thought grunge was new. Wrong

    M.... S....

    there is nothing new.

  42. m.... ....

    Was this released as a single? Or did it get a fair amount of air time? I never bought this album but definitely recognize this song and am trying to figure out how and why.

    m.... ....

    mudhens4ever School's Out album.

  43. S.... W....

    Neal Smith - hell of a songwriter and one kick ass drummer!!

  44. S.... W....

    Epic song….I can relate to this big time…high school was like this for me; and for that, I am gr8ful!! Thanks, I will always remember The Coop!

  45. W.... E....

    This song, by Neal Smith, is a masterpiece. Every recording by the original Alice Cooper group is genius.

    W.... E....

    WeAreAllOne ExceptForThatGuy Neal Smith was instrumental in so many of these bad ass songs, we love him.

    W.... E....

    They had a highly underrated band, mostly because of their Theatrics. They do some excellent songs.

    W.... E....

    theatrics had no part in how excellent this album is

  46. C.... M....

    I wonder if this song is a sort of tribute to AC's high school

    C.... M....

    Song was composed by Neil Smith (Coopers Drummer) He went to Camelback and the rest of the band went to Cortez. Both schools mentioned in the song.

    C.... M....

    YES !!! IT IS !!! CORTEZ HIGH SCHOOL ARIZONA

    C.... M....

    Didn't Vince live on Alice Ave near Cortez HS..hence his name?

    C.... M....

    I'm mad it's az not Detroit

    C.... M....

    Yeah, is right around the corner from me haha

  47. C.... A....

    agree Duffy

  48. d.... ....

    Listen to this a 1,000 times... but, today noticed how ABBEY ROAD this sounds like. COOP way so far ahead of his time...

    d.... ....

    This came out after Abbey Road, lol.

  49. R.... B....

    Remember The Coop (Pierre Yvon Jean )
