[Verse 1]
[Em]A fine day for the classroom and the pu[F#m]pils a[F#]re he[F#m]re
[A]Ju lie's got a headache but the
[Em]others don't care
Sarah's got to stay behind and
[F#m]help with the drill
[A]Teacher's got his eye on her
Moves [Em]in for the kill.
Nobody can see or hear
[F#]the things that they do
[A]All the books stay [Am]closed,
there [A]must [Em]be something they do
Only teacher knows about the sub
[F#m]jects they span - span
[A]Education's secondary,
[Em]be ing a school mam
[Bb][B]

[Verse 2]
[D]Oooooeeee!
Teachers doing fine as far
as [Em]I can [B]see[E][Em]

[Verse 3]
[Em]Being a school mam
Long holidays in the summer
Being a school mam
Free milk in your coffee break
Being a school mam
Government paid monthly

[Verse 4]
salary checks
[Em]Noises heard the principal in[F#m]vestigates
[F#]She turn[A]s on all the cameras
but [Em]it's too late
Catches both their pants down
in a pas[F#m]sion w[F#]ar
[A]Hasn't seen it happen since
the [Em]day she was born
Reaching down for glasses
that just [F#m]can't be found
[A]By the time she finds them,
why their [Em]down on the ground
Tossing and a turning they've
got feverish [F#]hands
[A]Lead can be so fluid when you're [Em]be
ing a school mam
[Bb][B]

[Verse 5]
[B]Oooooeeee!
[D]Teachers doing fine as far
as I [Em]can s[A]ee[B][Em]

[Verse 6]
[Em]Being a school mam
Controlling promiscuity after hours
Being a school mam
Giving out detentions by the dozen
Being a school mam
Give her fifty lines (of speed)
Being a school mam

[Verse 7]
[Em]Sucking on her fingernails she can't
[F#m]be lieve what she's seeing
[A]She's seeing something close to
what ap[Em]pears on the screen
Locks her door, with trembling hands
and her [D]hearts beat[F#]ing very [F#m]fast
[A]She pretends she's down there
[Am]on the f[Em]loor in the class
Gives herself to teacher although
[F#m]he doesn't know
[A]Works herself into a frenzied
[Em]state and it shows
Sarah's almost at the top
but [F#]try as she c[F#m]an
[A]She can't reach her helter skelter
[Em]Down with the school man

[Verse 8]
Just watch [Em]her go and help
her try if you [C]can
Use your twentieth [Em]century imagination

[Interlude 1]

[Bb][B]

[Verse 9]
[D]Oooooeeee!
Now she's at the top and teacher
set[Em]s her fre[A]e[B][Em][E]

[Verse 10]
[Em]Being a school mam
Disgusting behavior
Being a school mam
All over the parquet flooring
Being a school mam
Letting the flood gates open wide

[Verse 11]
Being a school mam
[Em]Now the principal collapses
[F#m]dead on the floor
With con[A]tentment on her
wrinkled old [Em]face ever more
She went out the very best way
that an [F#m]old woman can
[A]She was where the action was
Down [Em]there with the school
man
[Bb][B]

[Verse 12]
[D]Oooooeeee!
Teacher never will discover
[A]who could [Em]see[A][B][E][Em]

[Verse 13]
[Em]Being a school mam
One and one make two
if you're very lucky
Being a school mam
Two twos make four if
I remember correctly
Being a school mam
Four fours make sixteen
and sixteen's over age
[C]Sixtee[Em]n and sixteen
makes thirty two
That's approaching middle age
Thirty two and thirty
two makes sixty four
That's OAP land
Sixty four and sixty four makes a hundred
and twenty eight
A hundred and twenty eight
divided by three
Let me pause for reflection for a second
But teacher!
Three doesn't go into a hundred
and twenty eight exactly,
But it goes forty two [C]and a bit
[Em]Forty three, forty four, forty five,
forty six, forty seven
Forty eight, forty [B]nine,
Forty [Em]nine, point one, forty nine,
point two, forty nine, point three
Forty nine, point four,
Forty nine, point five, forty nine, point six,
forty nine, point seven
Forty nine, point eight,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
Forty nine, point nine,
