An English Teacher
Lyricist:Lee Adams, Charles Strouse
He's going in the Army It's the best thing he could do Now you are free to start to do What you wanted to Albert, Albert, Albert
I remember how you told me I should trust you for a year It would just be for a year But it's eight years, Albert Eight long years, Albert Rosie, it takes time to go to business
It was only a sideline That's what you said You just needed some money That's what you said You were going to college and get ahead
Instead of being a music business bum You were going to NYU And become an English teacher An English teacher, an English teacher If only you'd been an English teacher
We'd have a little apartment in Queens You'd get a summer vacation Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com And we would know what life means A man who's got his Masters, is really someone How proud I'd be if you had become one
It could have been such a wonderful life I could have been Mrs. Peterson Mrs. Albert Peterson Mrs. Phi Beta Kappa Peterson The English teacher's wife
Oh Rosie, I told you as soon as I get a few bucks ahead You said that before, Albert And along came, Conrad Birdie And it was goodbye, Jeffery Josser Hello, William Morris, goodbye NYU, hello, ALMAELOU
'Cause when you wrote, Canard's first hit Agha-bagha-boo, then I knew that was it You were through with English, forever An English teacher is really someone How proud I'd be if you had become one
It could have been such a wonderful life I could have been Mrs. Peterson Mrs. Albert Peterson Mrs. Phi Beta Kappa Peterson The English teacher's wife
