The Mrs Butler Blues

I’ve got the

Teach-them-in-the-morning-

Playground-duty-

Teach-them-in-the-afternoon-blues.

My head’s like a drum;

My feet, cold and sore.

I’m feeling so glum;

Can’t take any more.

I’ve got the

Teach-them-in-the-morning-

Playground-duty-

Teach-them-in-the-afternoon-blues.

I’ve got the

Please-Miss-Tracey’s-eating-

Where’s-the-hamster?-

Miss-I’ve-broke-my-ruler-blues.

My hair’s full of chalk.

There’s paint on my dress.

It hurts when I talk.

My handbag’s a mess.

I’ve got the

Please-Miss-Tracey’s-eating-

Where’s-the-hamster?-

Miss-I’ve-broke-my-ruler-blues.

I’ve got the

Teach-them-till-I’m-weary-

Parents’-evening-

Don’t-get-home-till-midnight-blues.

I know it’s a job

That has to be done,

But I’d rather rob

A bank with a gun.

I’ve got the

Teach-them-till-I’m-weary-

Parents’-evening-

Don’t-get-home-till-midnight-blues.

One more time:

Teach-them-in-the-morning-blues.

Hmm!

How’d you like to be in my… shoes?
