Her friends are so jealous
G5   F5       G5        F5
You know how bad girls get
Eb5   F5     Eb5  Eb5     F5 Eb5
Sometimes it's not so easy
G5  F5     G5       F5
To be the teacher's pet




Eb5   F5  Eb5  Eb5  F5  Eb5
Temptation frustration
G5  F5      G5       F5
so bad it makes him cry
Eb5   F5   Eb5  Eb5    F5   Eb5
Wet bus stop she's waiting
G5  F5      G5       F5
His car is warm and dry

Chorus:

Eb5     F5  Eb5     Eb5   F5  Eb5
Loose talk in  the class room
G5   F5          G5  F5
to hurt they try and try.
Eb5   F5    Eb5   Eb5   F5  Eb5
Strong words in the staff room
Eb5  F5   Eb5   Eb5       F5  Eb5
the accusations fly

It's no use   he sees her

he starts to shake and cough

just like the old man

in that book by Nabakov.

Chorus
