An Apple for the Teacher

An Apple for the Teacher - Connee Boswell/Bing Crosby (平克·勞斯)

Written by：Johnny Burke/James V. Monaco

You're sophisticated

I think I'm naive

Well let's play the game that way

Yes that's what I believe

An apple for the teacher

That seems the thing to do

Because I want a learn

About romance from you

An apple for the teacher

Just to show that I'm meek and mild

If you insist on saying

That I'm just a problem child

You're gonna get all my attention

And your wish will be my rule

And maybe you'll be good to me

Just keep me after school

An apple for the teacher

That's how I'd better start

Then after awhile you may give in

And let me bring my heart

An apple for the teacher

That seems the thing to do

Because I wanta 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

Then after while you may give in

And let me bring my heart

An apple for the teacher

S'always gonna do the trick

Not if you didn't study

Your arithmetic

I got an apple for the teacher

Gonna make a great success

Well it won't if you didn't memorise

The Gettysburg address

I got a little bit of glamour

And a charm that's cute and quaint

I may excuse your grammar

And believe you're what you ain't

I got an apple big red apple for the teacher

That's how I'm fixin' to start

Then after awhile I may give in

And let you bring your heart

Then after awhile she may give in

And let you bring your heart
