There were quite a few of us who went to Cooley Elementary. Named after the Cooley doctor dynasty, I believe. The limestone monstrosity was built as a prototype for the Alamo before the floorplan got changed. Couldn't find the school song but, as Stephen always says when you get stumped, "Before you kick the bucket, be sure to ask Puckett", lol. But, I think I remember some snippets of the song....
"Hail to Cooley, Hail to Cooley, better every day
If we ever get electricy, to class we'll find our way
It's dark and gloomy, damp and always creaky
Toilets don't flush and the roof is always leaky
Our teachers are great, though sometimes an ogre
But we love the days when they show up sober"
That's all I can recall but, hey, that was over 65 years ago!
