_ _ [Bb] _ _ _ _ [F] _
I was sitting in the classroom, [Bb] trying to look intelligent [F] in case the teacher [C] looked at me.
_ [Am]
She was long and she [Dm] was lean, [Bb] she'd [F] never [Gm] let me dream [F] how that lady [Bb] means the [F] whole world [Gm] to me.
_ [C] _ [F]
It's a natural achievement, [Bb] covering my homework with [F] her human pounding in [C] my brain.
_ _ [Am] _
She's an [Dm] inspiration [C] [Bb] for [F] my [Gm] graduation, [F] she helps me keep [Bb] the [C] classroom [F] sane.
_ [Dm] Oh teacher, [C] I need [Bb] you, [Dm] like a little [C] child.
[Am] You got [Dm] something [C] in you [Bb] to drive the school [C] boy wild.
Let [Dm] me [C] have you, [Bb] cause you're [Dm] my love, [C] say blue.
[Am] Help me get [Dm] straight and [C] calm now, [Bb] say teacher I, teacher I, teacher I, [F] teacher I.

_ _ [Am] Focus my [Dm] attention [G] on [Bb] some [F] further [Gm] education, [F] in connection with [Bb] the [Dm] birdies and [Gm] bees.
[C] _ [F] So I'm sitting in the classroom, [Bb] looking like a zombie.
[F] I'm waiting for the bells [F] to ring.
[C] _ I've [Am] got John [Dm] Wayne's senses.
[C] I've [Bb] got [F] everything [Gm] that fancy.
