An English Teacher
From Bye Bye Birdie soundtrack
His going in the army is the best thing he could do. Now you're
free to start to do, what you want to do.
Albert, Albert, Albert!
I remember how you told me I should trust you for a year. It
would just be
for a year. But it's 8 years, Albert. 8 long years Albert.
It was only a sideline that's what you said. You just needed
some money
that's what you said. You were going to college and get ahead.
Instead of
being a music business bum. You were going to NYU and
become....An English
teacher!
(spoken lines - not part of the song)
An English teacher, an English teacher. If only you'd been an
English
teacher. We'd have a little apartment in Queens. you'd get a
summer vacation,
and we would know what life means. A man who's got his Masters
is really
someone. How proud I'd be if you had become one. It could have
been such a
wonderful life, I could have been Mrs. Peterson, Mrs. Albert
Peterson. Mrs.
Phi-Beta-Cappa Peterson, the English teacher's wife.
