Lo bueno de estas dos versiones de la canción es que son igual de buenas. Primero vamos con la original, la de White Stripes. En este caso, una interpretación sencilla para una canción tan simple como poderosa. En sus directos, a veces Jack modela las palabras y esconde la música de una forma más personal e intimista. Pero en la versión oficial está más contenido.
La que Jack Johnson hizo para la banda sonora de Jorge el curioso no se separa demasiado de la de Jack White, pero con su voz el tema es más luminoso. Es como si viéramos las motas de polvo bailando en los rayos de sol de otoño que entran por las ventanas del colegio.
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've 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
At 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
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
'Bout 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
