Teacher, teacher
There´s so much I´m longin´ to know
´Cause my heart has been all aglow
From the moment we met
Teacher, make me, make me
Make me the teacher´s pet

Teacher, teacher
Educate me with a caress
Teach me nothin´ less than a lesson
I´ll never forget
Teacher, make me, make me
Make me the teacher´s pet

I read more in your lovin´ eyes
Than in any book from the shelf
I don´t have to tell you
You´re in a class by yourself

Kiss me, kiss me
After that, please kiss me again
Show me all that special attention
You´ll never regret
´Cause I´ll do my home work diligently
Till we´re both at least a hundred and three
Teacher, hold me, kiss me
Make me the teacher´s pet

I read more in your lovin´ eyes
Than in any book from the shelf
I don´t have to tell you
You´re in a class all by yourself

Kiss me, kiss me
After that, please kiss me again
Show me all that special attention
You´ll never regret
´Cause I´ll do my home work diligently
Till we´re both at least a hundred and three
Teacher, hold me, kiss me
Make me the teacher´s pet!!

Show me that you love me
Oh, teacher, make me your pet!!
