Music Teacher's Blues
Children's Song Lyrics and Sound Clip
Gemini
I'm the music teacher, and this is my song
I really love the kids, so now don't get me wrong
But for years I've had my fair share of abuse
I've got a really bad case of those music teacher's blues
Teaching saxophone can cause a lot of pain
Like having root canal work done without Novocain,
They say no pain no gain, I guess that it's true
I've got a really bad case of those music teacher's blues
The kids can sound those trumpets like elephants with gas
If the clarinets play a note right, I'm in the wrong class
Sometimes it's hard to see just what's the use
I've got a really bad case of those music teacher's blues
The kids throw their sneakers down the tuba's bell
The tuba player can't play it, I guess it's just as well
Sometimes I think I should just give 'em all kazoos
I've got a really bad case of those music teacher's blues
I don't know how it happens, I'm surprised every year
the kids somehow get better, it's music to my ear
I guess we all just have to pay our dues
Lord I can finally stop singing these music teacher's blues
