teacher i need you

Singer: marx, richard

i was sitting in the classroom

trying to look intelligent

in case the teacher looked at me. she was long and she was lean. she's a middle-aged dream

and that lady means the whole world to me. it's a natural achievement

conquering my homework

with her image pounding in my brain. she's an inspiration

for my graduation

and she helps to keep the classroom sane. oh teacher i need you

like a little child. you got something in you

to drive a schoolboy wild. you give me education

in the lovesick blues. help me get straight come out and say

teacher i

teacher i

teacher i

teacher i need you. i have to write a letter

tell about my feelings

just to let her know the scene. focus my attention

on some further education

in connection with the birds and the bees. so i'm sitting in the classroom. i'm looking like a zombie. i'm waiting for the bell to ring. i've got john wayne stances. i've got erroll flynn advances

and it doesn't mean a doggone thing.
