David Van Driessen - The Ballad of Beavis and Butt-head lyrics

rate me

I’ve taught for many and many and many a year

Seen students come and go

Some kids can learn at the speed of light

And some are kind of slow

But there was no kid I couldn’t reach

No heart I couldn’t touch

Till Beavis and Butt-head came along

And had my skills for lunch

They look like they’re lead singers

In some unholy choir

They’ll shoot their BBs, trash their desks

And set your beard on fire

And through it all they’ll laugh and laugh

Like some Satanic tape

I hear it in my sleep at night

Huh huh—there’s no escape

And when I tried to reach them

And tried to understand

They took their fingers from their noses

And wiped them in my hand

And when the school year ended

When the destruction was done

They asked me to pull their fingers

And said that they’d had fun

So when I see them walking

Down my school’s once-hallowed hall

I contemplate a new career

Selling menswear in a mall.
