Wait a second, man
What do you think the teacher's gonna look like this year?
My butt, man.
Uh!
Oh yeah!
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 am doing well
Teacher needs to see me after school
I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!
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!
Hey, I heard you missed us
We're back! (Hey!)
I brought my pencil
Give me something to write on, man!
Whoa
Uh!
Ooo-oo-ooo
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?
I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this!
Whoa! 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!
Whoa!
(Guitar Solo)
Oh man, I think the clock is slow
I don't feel tardy
Class dismissed!
Ooh-yeah!
I've got it bad,
Got it bad,
Got it bad,
I'm hot for teacher!
Whoa!
Oh! Ooh, yes I'm hot
Wow!
Oh my God!
