A Teacher's "Hello"
This one is for the teachers. Thanks for all you do. Sing along to Adele’s “Hello”.
Hello, it’s me.
I was wondering if after all these weeks you’d like to meet
To go over everything.
I gave you lots of books to help ya,
But there ain’t been much learning.
Hello, can you hear me?
Now I see you’ve got your earbuds in and you’re ignoring me.
Because you’re younger, and free
You’ve forgotten how to solve for X and when the trains will meet.
There’s such a difference, between you
And the answer in the book.
HELLO FROM THE TEACHER’S CHAIR!
I see you sitting over there–ere
I’d say I’m sorry, but it’s got to be
That you must learn all things, in standard three.
HELLO FROM THE TEACHER’S CHAIR!
You say your homework is somewhere
But I think your grasp of hist’ry’s come loose
And you’ve lost the square of the–hypotenuse…again
Hello, how are you?
It’s so typical of me to talk about class rules, I’m sorry.
I hope that you’re well.
Did you ever do what you said you would do, or did nothing ever happen?
It’s no secret that the both of us are running out of time.
SO, HELLO FROM THE OTHER SIDE!
I must’ve said a thousand times,
That sometimes ‘you’re’ has an –apostrophe
And that truly, Shakespeare has meaning to me.
HELLO I’VE GOT TEACHER ST--UFF!
This job, it don’t pay near enough,
I’ll not say sorry, for making you learn
But I’ll repeat un--til you cannot forget anymore.
Ooh-ooh, anymore
Ooh-ooh-ooh, anymore
Ooh-ooh, anymore
Anymore
HELLO FROM THE TEACHER’S CHAIR!
I worry ‘bout you over there
I know that fractions are really tough
And I know your life at home is so rough.
HELLO FROM THIS SWIVEL CHAIR!
I wish you knew how much I care
And there’s thirty of you, sitting right there,
And you matter, so I’ll pray every day for you.
