A good retro back-to-school tune

When school is about to begin, what's a transitional song that acknowledges the fun of Summer and the reality of the upcoming Autumn?  "Footprints" by Squeeze.  Even though I'm long removed from being a student, that song comes to mind in August or September every year--although the "footprints in the frost" line worked better when school began the day after Labor Day here years ago instead of mid August, as it does now.
