Lyrics Every Teacher - Mark Lowry

Every Teacher

Never on the honor roll
But I think that I should mention
I would have a masters now
If they gave it in detention
Shot spit wads till I turned blue
And flew paper airplanes too
My chemestry experiment
Blew up the whole school, by accident
Every teacher knows my name
They hear it and go insane
I brought prayer back to class
Cuz all my teachers prayed that I would pass
At the mention of my name
Teachers twitch, and some start droolin
A diploma was my aim
But I even flunked home schooling
Put a frog down one girl’s back
My mama got notes by the stack
All of my teachers got combat pay
Every hour, every day
Every teacher knows my name
They hear it and go insane
So many swats that I couldn’t keep score
That’s what I grew all this padding for!
Every teacher knows my name
They hear it and go insane
I brought prayer back to class
Cuz all my teachers prayed that I would pass
Yeah, sure, maybe I drove them mad
And was the worst student they ever had
But they are getting their just deserts
I talk about them at my concerts!
Every teacher knows my name
They hear it and go insane
I can’t recall all those words that they spoke
«Mark, your life’s gonna be a joke»
Every teacher knows my name
They hear it and go insane
So many swats that I couldn’t keep score
That’s what I grew all this padding for!
Every teacher knows my name
They hear it and go insane
I brought prayer back to class
Cuz all my teachers prayed that I would pass
