He's a teacher, always writin' high
Likes his learners, same way he walks the line
A classroom story, when he takes a day
'Bout that our notebook paid one way classroom trip

They get the help, never fold, one of the learners (ooh)
A million been through read tall tales around the science (ooh)
When he leaves this world there won't be no goodbyes (ooh)
'Cause teachers are remembered, but students never die (ooh)

He's pushin' twenty, and goin' on twenty-two
And pushin' teachers, will have to wait till he gets done
Sayin' readin', still writin' with the pen
He's a lover, he's a student, but to me he's always been (ooh)

They get the help, never fold, one of the learners (ooh)
A million been through read tall tales around the science (ooh)
When he leaves this world there won't be no goodbyes (ooh)
'Cause teachers are remembered, but students never die (ooh)

You can read it in the class
You can put their names in books
But they'll still be around (they'll still be around)
Long after they're quiet, ooh

They get the help, never fold, one of the learners (ooh)
A million been through read tall tales around the science (ooh)
When he leaves this world there won't be no goodbyes (ooh)
'Cause teachers are remembered (ooh)
Well, those students are remembered, yeah (ooh)
But students never die (ooh)

He's a teacher
He likes his voice
