"Silver Tree Top School for Boys" is a song written by David Bowie. It was recorded by beat group the Riot Squad featuring lead vocals by "Croak" Prebble, although it was not released until 2012 on the LP The Last Chapter: Mods & Sods, and as an EP circa 2016 by Acid Jazz Records. Bowie himself recorded two versions of the song, neither of which has been released.
