The Lyrics
There he goes, just walkin' down the hall
Singin' I'm the teacher and I'm gonna fail you all
Passing out homework and taking roll call
Singin' I'm the teacher and I'm gonna fail you all
He looked mean (looked mean)
He looked fierce (looked fierce)
He looked mean, he looked fierce
Through my soul his glare will pierce
Before I knew it, he was handing out a test
Singin' I'm the teacher and I'm gonna fail you all
Writin' down zeroes is the part he likes best
Singin' I'm the teacher and I'm gonna fail you all
The whole class (whole class)
Is on his (on his)
The whole class is on his
Afternoon detention list
Oh no,
I knew I was failing somehow
Yes I did,
And well I guess I won't get into Harvard now
Outside of class, his haunting presence still remains
Singin' I'm the teacher and I'm gonna fail you all
Going insane from his voice inside my brain
Singin' I'm the teacher and I'm gonna fail you all
Well I failed (I failed)
His class (his class)
Well I failed his class
This year I'm not gonna pass
Oh no,
I knew I was failing somehow
Yes I did,
And well I guess I won't get into Harvard now
He's the teacher and he went and failed us all!
Can't believe I have his class again next fall!
Like Pink Floyd says were all just bricks in the wall!
Singin' I'm the teacher and I'm gonna fail you all
Passing out homework and taking roll call
Singin' I'm the teacher and I'm gonna fail you all
He looked mean (looked mean)
He looked fierce (looked fierce)
He looked mean, he looked fierce
Through my soul his glare will pierce
Before I knew it, he was handing out a test
Singin' I'm the teacher and I'm gonna fail you all
Writin' down zeroes is the part he likes best
Singin' I'm the teacher and I'm gonna fail you all
The whole class (whole class)
Is on his (on his)
The whole class is on his
Afternoon detention list
Oh no,
I knew I was failing somehow
Yes I did,
And well I guess I won't get into Harvard now
Outside of class, his haunting presence still remains
Singin' I'm the teacher and I'm gonna fail you all
Going insane from his voice inside my brain
Singin' I'm the teacher and I'm gonna fail you all
Well I failed (I failed)
His class (his class)
Well I failed his class
This year I'm not gonna pass
Oh no,
I knew I was failing somehow
Yes I did,
And well I guess I won't get into Harvard now
He's the teacher and he went and failed us all!
Can't believe I have his class again next fall!
Like Pink Floyd says were all just bricks in the wall!
