Elton John/Bernie Taupin 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 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 |
