The Art Teacher lyrics

There I was in uniform

Looking at the art teacher

I was just a girl then;

Never have I loved since then

He was not that much older than I was

He had taken our class to the Metropolitan Museum

He asked us what our favorite work of art was,

But never could I tell it was him

Oh, I wish I could tell him

Oh, I wish I could have told him

I looked at the Rubens and Rembrandts

I liked the John Singer Sargents

He told me he liked Turner

Never have I turned since then

No, never have I turned to any other man

All this having been said,

I married an executive company head

All this having been done, a Turner - I own one

Here I am in this uniformish, pant-suit sort of thing,

Thinking of the art teacher

I was just a girl then;

Never have I loved since then

No, never have I loved any other man
