Don’t Poke the Teacher
The teacher’s kind of busy she has something to do
in the middle of something too busy for you
you want her attention and you want it now
you reach out to get it you’re not thinking how
you pull her sleeve you poke her foot
then she turns and gives you one angry look
Don’t Poke the Teacher,
Don’t Poke the Teacher,
there are better ways to reach her
Don’t Poke the Teacher,
Just wait your turn she’ll listen to you
Don’t Poke the Teacher
till she’s black and blue
there’s something important you have to say
but the teacher is facing the other way
you make a face and kick the ground
you poke her in the back to make her turn around
she turns and says “this has to end,
don’t ever poke me in the back again”
( CHORUS )
every person’s body is
that person’s own
everyone’s entitled to be left alone
you have to think about the things you do
I mean you wouldn’t want
other people poking you
so when you have something that must be said
don’t poke the teacher raise your hand instead
( CHORUS )
