LYRICS FROM "HEY, SCHOOLGIRL"
She said, "Hey, babe, I gotta lot to do;
It takes me hours till my homework's thru..."
Then she turned around to me with that gleam in her eye;
She said, "I'm sorry if I passed you by...
I'm gonna skip my homework,
Gonna cut my class,
Bug out of here real fast."

Album Review: "Hey, Schoolgirl" is a little-known pop gem from early in Paul Simon's long, hit-filled career. Whether it's hidden nuggets from early efforts in bands like Tom & Jerry, classic tracks from the amazing Simon & Garfunkel era, or excellent tunes from his 30+ years of solo albums, Paul Simon's work as a songwriter and musician is legendary. This 3-disc, 54-track box set spans the entire magical musical tour. The great songs are far too
numerous to mention, but here's a sampling: "The Sound Of Silence," "America," "Mrs. Robinson," "Bridge Over Troubled Water," "Me And Julio Down By The School Yard," "Mother And Child Reunion," "American Tune," "Loves Me Like A Rock," "Kodachrome," "Take Me To The Mardi Gras," "Still Crazy After All These Years,"
"Late In The Evening," "You Can Call Me Al"... Many of the original Simon & Garfunkel albums are good in their entirety and worth owning, as are some of the Paul Simon solo albums. But for those who appreciate a good overview without having to become a savvy collector, this box set is a great way to go.
