Dear Teacher, Dear Teacher

My hand is up!

Dear Teacher, Dear Teacher

Must I stand up?

Dear Teacher, Dear Teacher

Why won't you call on me?

Dear Teacher, Dear Teacher

Nobody else know, can't you see?

Dear Teacher, Dear Teacher

So you've picked someone else.

Dear Teacher, Dear Teacher

I know what they couldn't tell.

Dear Teacher, Dear Teacher

Today it is the answer I cannot give.

Dear Teacher, Dear Teacher

I do hope it is me you'll forgive.

Dear Teacher, Dear Teacher

Why is it me you look upon?

Dear Teacher, Dear Teacher

So it is me, that you choose to call on.

Dear Teacher, Dear Teacher

I'm getting very tired,

Dear Teacher, Dear Teacher

For it is you who needs to be retired.
