Teacher, Thing Of Beauty

what i see
i can’t remember,
what i hear
i might forget,
when u show me
with yr hands,
like that,
u know i’ll never quit

because to learn is a thing
of beauty, once u know
it becomes yr duty
to do a thing right every
time, please do it quick!

(o, do it quick)
because to learn
is a genuine diamond
with a hardness i’m
findin hard to resist,

with my hands in a fist
i can’t take yr gifts,
o, teacher, won’t ya
school me,

please don’t be cruel to me,
so much is new to me,
all i know’s what i see
i can’t remember,
what i hear
i’ll soon forget

when u show me with
yr hands like that
u’ll find i’m not so thick
because to learn is a
thing of beauty, and yr it, it, it, it, it.
