Oh How I Love My Teacher 1906

When I was but a little boy
I went to school one day
and when I saw my teacher dear
I loved her right away,
As years rolled by I loved her more
yes better than my life
and as no one else had had the nerve
I made the girl my wife.

Oh how I love my teacher
Oh! 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.

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.

She teaches me astronomy
and shows me all the stars,
'twas through a rolling pin
that I saw Jupiter and Mars,
She hit me with a dipper once
and I am here to say
if the dipper had been iron
I'd have seen The Milky Way.

Oh how I love my teacher
Oh! 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.

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.
