An apple for the teacher (video)

D E

1. An apple for the teacher that seems the thing to do,

A E A7

because I want to learn about romance from you.

D E

An apple for the teacher, just to show I'm meek and mild,

G D E A D

if you insist on saying that I'm just a problem child.

Am D G Am D G

You’re gonna get all my attention, and your wish will be my rule,

E A E A7

and maybe you'll be good to me, just keep me after school.

D E

An apple for the teacher, that's how I'd better start,

G D E A D

then after while you may give in end let me bring my heart.

I got a little bit of glamour and charm that's cute and quaint,

E A E A7

I may excuse your grammar, and believe you whatever you ain't.
