Lyrics:
Good morning, class
I'm your substitute teacher this morning
My name is Mr. Goodbody
We'll be reviewing the text from Moby Dick
So please turn now to page 69


Oh yeah
Teacher, stop that screaming
Teacher don't you see?
Don't wanna be no uptown fool
Maybe I should go to hell
But I'm doing well
Teacher need to see me after school
I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this

Got it bad
Got it bad
Got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I've got it bad
So bad
I'm hot for teacher


Moby Dick begins "Call me Ishmael"
Greg in the back!
You there, Greg, can you quiet down please?
I'm trying to read this text, alright?
I want you to turn in your assignments today
Inara, I'm gonna have to ask you to stay after class


I heard about your lessons
But lessons are so cold
I know about this school
Little boy from Cherry Lane
How can you be so bold?
How did you know the golden rule?
I think of all the education that I've missed
But then my homework was never quite like this

Got it bad
Got it bad
Got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
I've got it bad
So bad
I'm hot for teacher


Tomorrow there will be an essay due
On the dialectical shamanism of David Lee Roth
And there will be a pop quiz
Does anybody have any questions?

Class dismissed!

Oh yeah
Got it bad
Got it bad
Got it bad
I'm hot for teacher
Oh yes I'm hot

Oh my God
