The waking chime,
I can hear it...
Kin Kon Kan Kon
It's from the school

What day is it?
Had a good dream?
Kin Kon Kan Kon
It's still Wednesday!

What's for breakfast?
We'll be late!
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Right, we're leaving now!

Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
That's the sign for class

Look, look below!
Everyone is hurrying~
Kin Kon Kan Kon
There's a nice breeze blowing!

From the school's window
Fly in - we're seated!
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Deal with lateness later!

Even missing breakfast,
being on time is victory!
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Death for the failed

Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Class is starting

My tummy is empty
Class is long, you know?
Kin Kon Kan Kon
I do have sweets~

Sucking on candy
Adele looks back
Kin Kon Kan Kon
The miser keeps smiling

Saying nothing, looking forward
Tenzou looking serious
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Ukky dozing off

Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Class still continues

Nenji gives an answer
Itoken follows through
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Seijun finishes up

Pe-yan keeps silent
The lolicon jumping around
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Suzu in good form

Almost time for lunch
Everyone's getting restless
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Sensei lets out a sigh

Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Time for lunch break

Closing the textbook
Hassan starts dancing
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Bara-yan sends his script!

Tou-chan isn't eating
Though there's nothing on him
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kimi calls everyone

Asama's towering lunchbox
Mito-tsan's having fried meat
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Party by the window~

Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
School is over

After school, doing work
Circling around campus
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Everyone to their own

Heh, the idiot is making noise
Having meetings in the bread store
Kin Kon Kan Kon
A break in the shrine

Karaoke in the bathroom
Even though we're thinking that
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Pretending not to notice

Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
The night goes on

The places never seen
Someday we'll go for them
Kin Kon Kan Kon
All of us, we'll go

That person we never met
Not able to leave*
Kin Kon Kan Kon
The bells will connect us

Still can hear it
Every day, all the time
Kin Kon Kan Kon
The unstopping bells

Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon
Kin Kon Kan Kon

Hold hands while we sleep
Even with no one beside
Kin Kon Kan Kon
The bells will connect us

*Nihonshock: くされえん [kusare en] – 縁 here is a kind of “destined to be” relationship to someone. And if it’s rotten  (腐れ) , then we’re talking about those people whom we just can’t seem to get away from, even if we know we should.

- Kawakami Minoru's Lyric Commentary -
Now, having started preparing for the a Gagaku (imperial court) festival, Naito and Naruze have to deal with the sudden appearance of a strong rival, Asama and co., on stage. There was already a new piece prepared (The Iron CM song), but given the already existing witch and CM songs, there was a need to put up something with a different image, so

Knight: I want something we can dance to!

Naruze: The annoying ones passed down to us for the Sabbaths are a dime a dozen, you know.

Knight: Doing one like that for the festival would be genius!

With that trend, the thought of making a danceable for the new piece started to float in their minds. Still, having done nothing except witch songs until now,

Naruze: ...Isn't this a looping witch tune?

Knight: Yeah. What a thing this is, the requiem loop. ...It really brings down the mood.

Like that, they started trying out many things. In the end, considering not only the emphasis of the song on themselves but also to give a feel about them having fun with everyone (because it was a festival after all),

Knight: Then how about the school for our setting?

Such a thing happened, and because hearing the theme reminds them of the 'school bell', they decided to use it in the song.
The lyrics are based on the school, a song about a single day. Intended as a song about everyone in class, this song tries its best to cover the image of themselves - a part of the class - as well as their delivery work and some other stuff.

Naruze: Still, these lyrics give off more of a 'the world is wide~' song than I thought.

Knight: Everyone would recognize the main melody, so we could be well off with this...

Naruze: Well, we finally managed to make a song with a different image to what we usually are. Even then, we can still say that this song is ours: it'll surely be a good song.
