Thirteen Ways To Lose a Teacher

The problem really isn’t our society The answer’s easy if you take responsibility Id like to have you fired if it were a possibility There must be fifty ways lose a teacher He said I generally don’t defend my son I’d rather have him take the bad marks for what he’s done So as said before, even if it sounds rude There must be thirteen ways lose a teacher, thirteen ways lose a teacher Stab her in the back, Mack, disrupt the class Hass Don't be a good boy, coy, don’t listen to her play on the bus, Russ, don't ever study much rebellion is better, Amber, and say bye bye to the teacher Stab her in the back, Mack, disrupt the class Hass Don't be a good boy, coy, don’t listen to her play on the bus, Russ, don't ever study much rebellion is better, Amber, and say bye bye to the teacher He said it would thrill me to never see you here again I wish there was a law in place to make your job uncertain I said, I’m getting that you think the cause is me, you were listing thirteen ways I said, we’re getting nowhere fast tonight He said, I’ll make you see that you’re not right And then He got up and slammed my door tight There must be thirteen ways lose a teacher, thirteen ways lose a teacher Stab her in the back, Mack, disrupt the class Hass Don't be a good boy, coy, don’t listen to her play on the bus, Russ, don't ever study much rebellion is better, Amber, and say bye bye to the teacher Sung to the tune of Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel's "Fifty Ways To leave Your Lover"
