Hot for Teacher Lyrics
[Instrumental Intro]
[Interlude]
Oh wow, man, that's it
Wait a second, man
What do you think the teacher's gonna look like this year?
My butt, man
Oh, uh
Oh, yeah
[Verse 1]
T-t-teacher, stop that screamin', teacher, don't you see?
Don't wanna be no uptown fool
Maybe I should go to Hell, but I'm doin' well
And teacher needs to see me after school
[Pre-Chorus]
I think of all the education that I missed
But then my homework was never quite like this
[Chorus]
Ow, got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher
[Interlude]
Hey, I heard you missed us, we're back
I'm ready
I brought my pencil
Gimme something to write on, man
Yeah, go
Uh
Ooh
[Verse 2]
I heard about your lessons, but lessons are so cold
I know about this school
Little girl from Cherry Lawn, how can you be so bold?
How did you know that golden rule?
[Pre-Chorus]
I think of all the education that I missed
But then my homework was never quite like this
[Chorus]
Woah, got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I've got it bad, so bad
I'm hot for teacher, wha-oh
[Guitar Solo]
[Interlude]
Oh man, I think the clock is slow, man
What are you doing this weekend?
I don't feel tardy
Class dismissed
Ooh, yeah
[Chorus]
I've got it bad, got it bad, got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
Oh
Oh, a-yes, I'm hot
Wow
[Outro]
Oh my God
Woo

I winged that one. If you listen to it, the timing changes in the middle of nowhere. We were in a room playing together and I kind of winked at the guys and said, ‘Okay, we’re changing now!’ Because I don’t count, I just follow my feelings. I tend to do a lot o...
