I like the way Paul does that downturn with his voice from “Girls” to “school”. It took me a while but I figured out how to sing it that way.
Three questions:
Is it true this song was the A side of a 45 but that the B side (Mull Of Kintyre ) eclipsed it in sales?
Was it on London Town or only issued as a 45?
How is the title properly spelled? “Girls” without any apostrophe is probably wrong. Girl’s doesn’t seem right, since it’s a school for many girls. So it must be Girls’. Interestingly, it looks like some 45s had both:

Recorded during the London Town sessions, @Sea Belt, but not included on the album, in the majority of official listings or appearances it is Girls School without an apostrophe, and was released as a double-A side with Mull Of Kintyre , mainly — by Paul’s own admission — because he felt B-sides were often ignored and wanted to give it a shot at some radio play.
It was only in the US that Girls School was promoted as the lead track, and the single failed to crack the Top 30 there; in those countries that promoted Mull, it reached #1 in several (becoming the UK’s top-selling single until Do They Know It’s Christmas in 1984) and the Top 10 in many more.
