An apple for the teacher’s swell;
…It keeps the doc away.
But as I keep my teacher well,
…She’s teaching ev’ry day.
I’d like a sub who can’t say “no”,
…Who lets us pupils slide,
Who won’t give homework as a woe,
…Won’t miss me if I hide.
An apple’s a too healthy food;
…A different tack I’ll take.
I’ll be a student smart and shrewd –
…Bring sweets like cookies, cake.
