Madrasa (Arabic: مدرسة, madrasah, pl. مدارس, madāris, Turkish: Medrese) is the Arabic word for any type of educational institution, whether secular or religious (of any religion). The word is variously transliterated madrasah, madarasaa, medresa, madrassa, madraza, medrese, etc. In the West, the word usually refers to a specific type of religious school or college for the study of the Islamic religion, though this may not be the only subject studied. Not all students in madrasas are Muslims; there is also a modern curriculum.
The word madrasah derives from the triconsonantal Semitic root د-ر-س D-R-S 'to learn, study', through the wazn (form/stem) مفعل(ة); mafʻal(ah), meaning "a place where something is done". Therefore, madrasah literally means "a place where learning and studying take place". The word is also present as a loanword with the same innocuous meaning in many Arabic-influenced languages, such as: Urdu, Bengali, Hindi, Persian, Turkish, Azeri, Kurdish, Indonesian, Malay and Bosnian / Croatian. In the Arabic language, the word مدرسة madrasah simply means the same as school does in the English language, whether that is private, public or parochial school, as well as for any primary or secondary school whether Muslim, non-Muslim, or secular. Unlike the use of the word school in British English, the word madrasah more closely resembles the term school in American English, in that it can refer to a university-level or post-graduate school as well as to a primary or secondary school. For example, in the Ottoman Empire during the Early Modern Period, madrasas had lower schools and specialised schools where the students became known as danişmends. The usual Arabic word for a university, however, is جامعة (jāmiʻah). The Hebrew cognate midrasha also connotes the meaning of a place of learning; the related term midrash literally refers to study or learning, but has acquired mystical and religious connotations.
Well the boys and the girls all dancing around
Dancing all night to the crazy sound
Well it's the newest thing to hit the fan
The boys and the girls are holding hands
I said go buddy go buddy go
buddy go buddy go go go
A well I'm with my friend bob
And we're having a chat
I got the right speed and I'm doing fine
But bob is not dancing no shery
He's got a lazy eye on a litlle lady
I said go buddy go buddy go
buddy go buddy go go go
Wow let's say now
Go buddy go buddy go

Dissapearing in a space behind the door
You tell the chick who stands right to us to get some more
Go buddy go buddy go

A well I see we're changing partners

I'm standing on the outside Lookin' in
Who's that litlle girl she was with him
I said go buddy go buddy go
buddy go buddy go go go
Solo...Let's go
As the wimen display around the floor
Dissapearing in a space behind the door
You tell the chick who stands right to us to get some more
Go buddy go buddy go

Go buddy go buddy go
buddy go buddy go go go
A when the party is over and we're all going home

I said go buddy go buddy go

Go buddy go buddy go
