An Apple for the Teacher lyrics

(Boswell) - You're sophisticated

(Crosby) - I think I'm naive

(Boswell) - Well, let's play the game that way

(Crosby) - Yes, that's what I believe ...

An apple for the teacher

That seems the thing to do

Because I wanna learn

About romance from you

An apple for the teacher

Just to show that I'm meek and mild

If you insist on saying

That I'm just a problem child

You're gonna get all my attention

And your wish will be my rule

And maybe you'll be good to me

Just keep me after school

An apple for the teacher

That's how I'd better start

Then after awhile you may give in

And let me bring my heart

(Boswell)

An apple for the teacher

That seems the thing to do

Because I wanna learn

About romance from you

An apple for the teacher

To show I'm meek and mild

If you insist on saying

That I'm just a problem child

You'll get all my attention

Your wish will be my rule

And maybe you'll be good to me

And keep me after school

An apple for the teacher

That's how I'd better start

Then after awhile you may give in

And let me bring my heart

(Crosby)

An apple for the teacher

'S always gonna do the trick

(Boswell)

Not if you didn't study

Your arithmatic

(Crosby)

I got an apple for the teacher

Gonna make a great success

(Boswell)

Well it won't, if you didn't memorise

The Gettysburg Address

(Crosby)

I got a little bit of glamour

And a charm that's cute and quaint

(Boswell)

I may excuse your grammar

And believe you're what you ain't

(Crosby)

I got an apple, big red apple for the teacher

That's how I'm fixing to start

(Boswell)

Then after awhile I may give in

And let you bring your heart

(Both)

Then after awhile she may give in

And let you bring your heart
