Ev ’ry bod y screamed
when I kissed the teach er,

All my friends at (Bb)school, they had nev er seen the (Gm)teach er blush, she (Cm)looked like a fool,
near ly pet ri fied, ’cause she was ta ken by sur prise.
When I kissed the teach er,
could n’t quite be (Eb)lieve her eyes,
when I kissed the teach er,
my whole class went (Bb)wild.
As I held my breath, the (Gm)world stood still, but (Cm)then she just smiled,
I was in the sev enth heav en when I kissed the teach er.
What a mad (Cm)day,
now I see ev ’ry (Bb)thing in a diff ’rent light.
What a mad (Abmaj7)day,
I was (Cm)up in the (Cm)air and she (Cm7)taught me a (F)les son al right.
I was in a trance,
when I kissed the teach er,
sud den ly I (Eb)took the chance,
when I kissed the teach er,
lean ing o ver (Bb)me, She was try ing to ex (Gm)plain the laws of (Cm)ge om e try,
and I could n’t help it I just had to kiss the teach er.
What a mad (Cm)day,
now I see ev ’ry (Bb)thing in a diff ’rent light.
What a mad (Abmaj7)day,
I was (Cm)up in the (Cm)air and she (Cm7)taught me a (F)les son al right.
I was in a trance, What a cra zy day, enth heav en, when I kissed the (Eb)teach

when I kissed the teach

when I kissed the teach

when I kissed the teach
