anybody know about when this song was recorded? it's pretty good


anyway in the lyrics Prince mentions Ace several times and i was wondering if "Ace" in the song may have been A C Andre Cymone?


"And now boys and girls 4 the graphic part
Close your ears if U ain't got a nasty heart
The schoolyard, the schoolyard
Here we go
Now take a glove, fill it with hot baby lotion and slip it on (Well)
Pull it tight, that's what Carrie was like
One stroke and I was gone
Gone I was, it's true
The schoolyard, the schoolyard"

I loove this song. I have it on my Diamonds and Pearls outtake tape. I always thought that Ace referred to Andre Cymone as well.

ah i figured it was around d&p time...hmm why didnt he put this song on the album instead of Jughead??

u have good taste

Thanks. I know, Schoolyard would have been a hellofalot better than Jughead.

....well, Ive read the lyrics befroe-but never actually heard the song. ....wonder if the stuff he says in this song actually happened?!...hmmp

Knowing Prince, it probably did.

"...try to remember how u felt your very first time..."

I think this was about his first sexual experience...I like this joint.
