Teacher, my homework's lost
My dog ate it; it's in his stomach now
Remember the work you gave us that day
To retrieve them I really don't know how

Teacher, you must believe
That my story is nothing but the truth
Remember the time you lost your dollars
I returned that cash and I have the proof

And any time you wish to scold, Teacher, refrain
Don't overdo yourself; you can't take it
Well don't you know that accusation without proof
Simply, in just two words, is child abuse?

Teacher! I swear to you
I ain't lying, you can ask my mother!
Remember the woman whom you spoke to
When I last cocooned someone in a banner

So you can take my word for sure, Teacher, Teacher
Don't send me to the headmaster's office
And I tell you miss/sir, my life's on you
Please don't, my homework has really been devoured

Teacher, you must believe
That my story is nothing but the truth
Remember the time you lost your dollars
I returned that cash and I have the proof
