Papa Don't Teach

Papa I know you’re going to give the test
Can’t you see it’s killing me
But you should know by now
That I don’t want you

Your lectures were always too long
Now I’m telling you if you hear this song
I might be in your class
But I don’t need it now

The way you say “Sweetie please”
The way you describe Hercules
We’re in an awful class, can you here what I’m saying - Please

Chorus:
Papa don’t teach, can’t you just please cease
Papa don’t teach, can’t you keep the peace
I have you at home, so I don’t need you here, oh
Don’t need you here, mmm…

My friends all just laugh at me
When you ask me about geography
Can’t you just pick another
Oh but you don’t bother

With you I can no longer just be me
I need a little help with my strategy
What I need right now is another teacher, please

(chorus)

Teacher, teacher pack up and just leave
I’ll give you some help with a great big heave
I’m not your teacher’s pet so go
‘Cause I don’t need this, I don’t need you, so please

(chorus)

Papa don’t teach, can’t you just please cease
Papa don’t teach, can’t you keep the peace
(repeat)

Oh, I don’t need you here, ooh
Don’t need you here daddy
I know, finding another teacher
