College Teacher

Zur Melodie von “Private Dancer” von Tina Turner

Well the kids come in these places
And the kids are all the same
You don’t look at their faces
And you don’t ask their names
You don’t think of them as human
You don’t think of them at all
You keep your mind on your research
Keeping your eye on the board

Chorus:
I’m your college teacher
A teacher for livetime
Teaching is what I have to do
I’m your college teacher
A teacher for livetime
Any any old matter will do


I want to make a great invention
I want my papers be cited
Hold my own chair and some postgrads
Yeah I guess I’m a reasearcher
All the kids come in these places
And the kids are all the same
You don’t look at their faces
And you don’t ask their names

Chorus (twice)


Exam or thesis
A student’s final year’s project – oh please no more
Let me ask you just one question
Tell me do you think I care about the students in here

Chorus (repeat and fade out)
