Year: 1977 3:02 965 Views Everybody screamed when I kissed the teacher And they must have thought they dreamed when I kissed the teacher All my friends at school They had never seen the teacher blush, he looked like a fool Nearly petrified 'cause he was taken by surprise When I kissed the teacher Couldn't quite believe his eyes, when I kissed the teacher My whole class went wild As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then he just smiled I was in the seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher One of these days Gonna tell him I dream of him every night One of these days Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright I was in a trance when I kissed the teacher Suddenly I took the chance when I kissed the teacher Leaning over me, he was trying to explain the laws of geometry And I couldn't help it, I just had to kiss the teacher One of these days Gonna tell him I dream of him every night One of these days Gonna show him I care, gonna teach him a lesson alright What a crazy day, when I kissed the teacher All my sense had flown away when I kissed the teacher My whole class went wild As I held my breath, the world stood still, but then he just smiled I was in the seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher (I want to hug, hug, hug him) When I kissed the teacher (I want to hug, hug him) When I kissed the teacher (I want to hug, hug, hug him) When I kissed the teacher (I want to hug, hug him) When I kissed the teacher (I want to hug, hug, hug him)
