text: I was sitting in the classroom
  Trying to look intelligent
  In case the teacher looked at me
  She was long and she was lean, shes a middle-aged dream
  And that lady means the whole world to me
  Its a natural achievement
  Conquering my homework
  With her image pounding in my brain
  Shes 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, ooh
  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
  Oh, so Im sitting in the classroom, woo!
  Im looking like a zombie
  Im waiting for the bell to ring
  Ive got John Wayne stances, Ive got Erroll Flynn advances
  And it doesnt mean a doggoned thing
  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
  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
