Talking Teachers  

Be nice to yu teachers dis term time,
Cos' teachers just wanna hav fun
Teachers are cool, and teachers are wicked
An every teacher has a Mum.

 

Be nice to yu teachers dis term time,
Don't cheek it, keep it happy,
It could be yu mate, an not on your case,
Say, Yo! teacher I'm on your side.

 

I got lots of friends who are teachers
An all of dem fear term time,
Dey wanna enjoy it, dey say children destroyed it
An children are out of dere mind,

 

Teachers just wanna play with friends,

teachers just wanna have fun.

Can you imagine a nice young teacher saying' I cannot wait for home time.'
