rate me

Music by elton john<br>Lyrics by bernie taupin<br>Available on the album don't shoot me I'm only the piano player<br><br>I was sitting in the classroom<br>Trying to look intelligent<br>In case the teacher looked at me<br>She was long and she was lean<br>She's a middle-aged dream<br>And that lady means the whole world to me<br><br>It's a natural achievement<br>Conquering my homework<br>With her image pounding in my brain<br>She's an inspiration<br>For my graduation<br>And she helps to keep the classroom sane<br><br>Oh teacher I need you like a little child<br>You got something in you to drive a schoolboy wild<br>You give me education in the lovesick blues<br>Help me get straight come out and say<br>Teacher i, teacher i, teacher i, teacher I need you<br><br>I have to write a letter<br>Tell about my feelings<br>Just to let her know the scene<br>Focus my attention<br>On some further education<br>In connection with the birdies and the bees<br><br>So I'm sitting in the classroom<br>I'm looking like a zombie<br>I'm waiting for the bell to ring<br>I've got john wayne stances<br>I've got erroll flynn advances<br>And it doesn't mean a doggone thing
