Connee Boswell - An Apple For The Teacher lyrics

An apple for the teacher That seems the thing to do Because I want to learn About romance from you An apple for the teacher To show I'm meek and mild If you insist on saying That I'm just a problem child You'll get all my attention Your wish will be my rule; And maybe you'll be good to me And keep me after school An apple for the teacher That's how I'd better start The after while you may give in And let me bring my heart An apple for the teacher Will always do the trick When you don't know Your lesson in arithmetic An apple for the teacher Will meet with great success If you forgot to memorize The Gettysburg Address A little bit of glamour A charm that's cute and quaint; And he'll excuse your grammar And believe you're what you ain't You may be just a lemon But he'll think you're a peach Just bring an apple for the teacher When he starts to teach
