F Eb/F Bb/F F
      F
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
It's a natural achievement Conquering my homework With her image pounding in my brain She's an inspiration For my graduation
             F            Bb   C    F
And she helps to keep the classroom sane

           Dm C    Bb  Dm            C
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

Bb6         Bb           Csus4 C                F
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 birdies 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
