THE MUSIC TEACHER’S BLUES Words by Mary Manion 2011
Teaching can be hard. I have to write my LESSON PLANS.
Teaching can be hard. I have to write my LESSON PLANS.
Work makes me hot, hot, hot; I have to turn on the FAN!
I love teachin’ music, ‘cept when a kid plays wrong NOTES.
I love teachin’ music, ‘cept when a kid plays wrong NOTES.
Usually it’s good, but when it’s not -‐ I wanna get on a BOAT!
I wish you’d all stop talkin’ – and listen to ME.
I wish you’d all stop talkin’ – and listen to ME.
When we’re quiet, we learn more, and get higher than a “B”
