I’m a weirdo  
What the hell am I doing here?  
I don’t belong here

Went to school and I was very nervous  
No one knew me, no one knew me  
Hello teacher tell me what’s my lesson  
Look right through me, look right through me

I think of all the education that I missed.  
But then my homework was never quite like this.  
Got it bad, got it bad, got it bad,  
I’m hot for teacher.  
I got it bad, so bad,  
I’m hot for teacher

it had been a lot of fun.  
Thanked me for his ticket

To Sir, with love

Teach your parents well, their children’s hell will slowly go by,  
And feed them on your dreams, the one they fix,the one you’ll know by.

Always in time, but never in line for dreams  
Head over heels when toe to toe  
This is the sound of my soul

I keep your picture  
Upon the wall  
It hides a nasty stain that’s lying there  
So don’t you ask me  
To give it back  
I know you know it doesn’t mean that much to me

Counting flowers on the wall, that don’t bother me at all.  
Playing Solitaire till dawn, with a deck of fifty-one.  
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Kangaroo.  
Now don’t tell me I’ve nothing to do.
