Lyrics
Chorus
Oh, how I love my teacher
O! how I love our flat
I must sit in the house
Just as still as a mouse
I can’t even talk to the cat
She’s the official preacher
Lectures at me she’ll hurl
And anything else
She can throw straight she pelts
Oh, how I love that girl
Chorus
Oh, how I love my teacher
Oh! how I am abused
If I want to go out
I must stand up and shout
Please teacher may I be excused
Oh! when I think of the fellows
It sets my head in a whirl
But I only think
Boy I can’t get a drink
Oh, how I love that girl
(there are three extra verses on the music)
