The Stranglers Follow

A fine day for the classroom and the pupils are here
Julie's got a headache but the others don't care
Sarah's got to stay behind and help with the drill
Teacher's got his eye on her, moves in for the kill

Nobody can see or hear the things that they do
All the books stay closed, there must be something they do
Only teacher knows about the subjects they span, span
Education's secondary, being a school mam

Oee
Teacher's doing fine, as far as I can see

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 salary checks

Noises heard, the principal investigates
She turns on all the cameras but it's too late
Catches both their pants down in a passion war
Hasn't seen it happen since the day she was born

Reaching down for glasses that just can't be found
By the time she finds them, why, their down on the ground
Tossing and a turning they've got feverish hands
Lead can be so fluid when you're being a school mam

Oee
Teacher's doing fine, as far as I can see

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

Sucking on her fingernails, she can't believe what she's seeing
She's seeing something close to what appears on the screen
Locks her door with trembling hands and her hearts beating very fast
She pretends she's down there on the floor in the class

Gives herself to teacher although he doesn't know
Works herself into a frenzied state and it shows
Sarah's almost at the top but try as she can
She can't reach her helter skelter, down with the school man

Just watch her go and help her try if you can
Use your twentieth century imagination, if you've got any

Oee
Teacher's doing fine, as far as I can see

Being a school mam
Disgusting behavior
Being a school mam

Being a school mam
Letting the flood gates open wide
Being a school mam

Now the principal collapses, dead on the floor
With contentment on her wrinkled old face, ever more
She went out the very best way that an old woman can
She was where the action was, down there with the school man

Oee
Teacher's doing fine, as far as I can see

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
Sixteen 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 and a bit

Forty three, forty four
Forty five, forty six
Forty seven, forty eight
Forty nine

Forty 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
Fifty
