[Hopkins:] My teacher you shall be
I'll study faithfully
you'll find me very bright
when I recite
[Lavinia:] The spelling class I'll call
[Hopkins:] I don't know that at all
[Lavinia:] A very stupid lad
your brain is bad
what do you wish to tell, sir?
Well, sir?

[Hopkins:] Teacher, teacher,
won't you reach a helping hand to
this little scholar
if you really understood.
I think you would.
When I show you all I know of love,
you'll find me bright as a dollar,
Teacher, don't dismiss me
oh, kiss me,
and I'll promise to be good.

Teacher, teacher,
won't you reach a helping hand to
this little scholar
if you really understood.
I think you would.
When I show you all I know of love,
you'll find me bright as a dollar,
Teacher, don't dismiss me
oh, kiss me,
and I'll promise to be good.

[Lavinia:] As teacher take your turn
while I my lesson learn
I hope you won't be cross,
because you're boss,
[Hopkins:] Your French I'd like to hear
Please say: "I love you dear"
[Lavinia:] I won't say that to you
You know I do
[Hopkins:] How dare you disobey so,
Say so!

Teacher, teacher,
won't you reach a helping hand to
this little scholar
if you really understood.
I think you would.
When I show you all I know of love,
you'll find me bright as a dollar,
Teacher, don't dismiss me
oh, kiss me,
and I'll promise to be good.

Teacher, teacher,
won't you reach a helping hand to
this little scholar
if you really understood.
I think you would.
When I show you all I know of love,
you'll find me bright as a dollar,
Teacher, don't dismiss me
oh, kiss me,
and I'll promise to be good.
