Music by Elton John
Lyrics by Bernie Taupin
Available on the album Don't Shoot Me I'm Only The Piano Player
I was sitting in the classroom
Trying to look intelligent
In case the teacher looked at me
She was long and she was lean
She's a middle-aged dream
And that lady means the whole world to me
It's a natural achievement
Conquering my homework
With her image pounding in my brain
She's an inspiration
For my graduation
And she helps to keep the classroom sane
Oh teacher I need you like a little child
You got something in you to drive a schoolboy wild
You give me education in the lovesick blues
Help me get straight come out and say
Teacher I, teacher I, teacher I, Teacher I need you
I have to write a letter
Tell about my feelings
Just to let her know the scene
Focus my attention
On some further education
In connection with the birdies and the bees
So I'm sitting in the classroom
I'm looking like a zombie
I'm waiting for the bell to ring
I've got John Wayne stances
I've got Erroll Flynn advances
And it doesn't mean a doggone thing
Teacher I Need You - Elton John (Don't Shoot Me 2 of 10) (04:07)
TEACHER I NEED YOU Elton John Don't Shoot Me (I'm Only The Piano Player) (1973) I was sitting in the
classroom Trying to look intelligent In case the teacher looked at me She was long and she was lean
She's a middle-aged dream And that lady means the whole world to me It's a natural achievement
Conquering my homework With her image pounding in my brain She's an inspiration For my graduation
And she helps to keep the classroom sane Oh teacher I need you like a little child You got something
...
What's left of Elton is still more than most. Still relavent after 40 years.
