AN APPLE FOR THE TEACHER
Bing Crosby and Connee Boswell   

An apple for the teacher
That seems the thing to do 
Because I want to learn 
About romance from you.
An apple for the teacher
To show I'm meek and mild,
If you insist on saying 
That I'm just a problem child.
You'll get all my attention,
Your wish will be my rule;
And maybe you'll be good to me 
And keep me after school
An apple for the teacher 
That's how I'd better start, 
The after while you may give in 
And let me bring my heart

An apple for the teacher 
Will always do the trick, 
When you don't know 
Your lesson in arithmetic
An apple for the teacher 
Will meet with great success
If you forgot to memorize 
The Gettysburg Address
A little bit of glamour
A charm that's cute and quaint;
And he'll excuse your grammar
And believe you're what you ain't.
You may be just a lemon
But he'll think you're a peach 
Just bring an apple for the teacher 
When he starts to teach
