Teacher, teacher, teacher Won't you tell me how to swim? I swallow too much water I'm my momma's only daughter She'll be devastated deeply If we don't go to the sea I swallow too much Jack And wonder if I'll get a heart attack Teacher, teacher, teacher People younger than us die Us kids who didn't bother To open our eyes underwater ♪ I said I'll tell you everything But truth is, I was lying I never told you anything But I deserve a hug for trying Now I feel ashamed whenever That someone's there to speak your name You burnt me like a toast You are your father's son and my only ghost I swear to you of all your preach I remember only what I want I swear I've grown out of your reach You test the best, but you're now on your own
