Teacher I Need You

Music by Elton JohnLyrics by Bernie TaupinAvailable on the album Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano PlayerI was sitting in the classroomTrying to look intelligentIn case the teacher looked at meShe was long and she was leanShe's a middle-aged dreamAnd that lady means the whole world to meIt's a natural achievementConquering my homeworkWith her image pounding in my brainShe's an inspirationFor my graduationAnd she helps to keep the classroom saneOh teacher I need you like a little childYou got something in you to drive a schoolboy wildYou give me education in the lovesick bluesHelp me get straight come out and sayTeacher I, teacher I, teacher I, Teacher I need youI have to write a letterTell about my feelingsJust to let her know the sceneFocus my attentionOn some further educationIn connection with the birdies and the beesSo I'm sitting in the classroomI'm looking like a zombieI'm waiting for the bell to ringI've got John Wayne stancesI've got Erroll Flynn advancesAnd it doesn't mean a doggone thing
