The Laughing English Teacher
The Laughing English Teacher LYRICS
I’ve got an English teacher, he always takes our class
A fat old jolly red-faced man, he gives us all a pass
He's too kind for a teacher, he never has a rule
And everybody says he is the happiest man in school.
hahahahahahaha
He laughs when giving homework, he laughs and doesn’t teach
He laughs at everybody when they struggle with their speech
He never can stop laughing, he says he’s never tried
But once he did expel a guy, and laughed until he cried
hahahahahahaha
His jolly face it wrinkled and then he shut his eyes
He opened his great mouth, it was a wondrous size
He said “I must expel you”, but he didn't know what for
And then he started laughing until he hurt his jaw
hahahahahahaha
So, if you chance to meet him, when walking round the school
Just shake him by his fat old hand and tell him he’s so cool
His eyes will beam and sparkle, he'll gurgle with delight
And then you’ll start his laughing with all his blessed might.
hahahahahahaha
