Teacher's Pettin'

School bell starts to ring
Gym shorts start to cling
Phys Ed teacher on my mind.

She puts the T&A
In the PTA
Too much detention you’ll go blind.

This ain’t no K to 5
This ain’t no junior high
Down here we learn the bump and grind.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Homeroom teacher’s got me sweatin’.

‘Cause when I hear that bell
My ego starts to swell
Yeah yeah yeah
Teacher’s Pettin’.

And all the other teacher’s tell me I’m a fool.
But they never seen me after school.

Don’t want no spring vacation
Don’t need no graduation
You can keep me back a year

I’m about to lose control
On dishonor roll.
‘Cause I like bringin’ up the rear.

When she gets that ruler out
Makes me want to shout
She got me grinning ear to ear.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Homeroom teacher’s got me sweatin’.

And I do so well
I might get expelled
Yeah yeah yeah
Teacher’s Pettin’.

And momma says I gotta play by all the rules.
But she ain’t seen me after school.

Solo

Verse 3: (spoken)
Ah, man. I can’t wait for the class reunion.
Yeah, I got an “F”, if you know what I mean.

Well, I can’t long divide.
But I’ll be your study guide.
Hop on my bus and take a ride

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Homeroom teacher’s got me sweatin’.

Everybody’s on recess
But I’m cramming for the test

Yeah yeah yeah
Teacher’s Pettin’.

And you can tell me all about the Golden Rule.
But I ain’t gonna be nobody’s fool.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Homeroom teacher’s got me sweatin’.

Yeah yeah yeah yeah
Stayin’ after class cause Teacher’s Pettin’

And now she’s gone and made me lose my cool.
I guess I’ll see you in summer school.
