I was sitting in the classroom
Bb
Trying to look intelligent
   F                          C  F C F C F C
In case the teacher looked at me
        Am               Dm
She was long and she was lean
        Bb  F        Gm
She's a middle-aged dream
         F              Bb      F     Gm  C
And that lady means the whole world to me

For my graduation
             F            Bb   C    F
And she helps to keep the classroom sane

Oh teacher I  need you like a little child
Am                Dm        Bb                 C
You got something in you to drive a school boy wild
           Dm C Bb            Dm       C
You give me education in the love sick blues
Am                   Dm
Help me get straight come out and say
