This Is Why I Am a Teacher
To the tune of The Battle Hymn of the Republic
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming winter break.
We all need some relaxation and some fun, for goodness sake.
If we had to wait much longer, then our heads would surely ache.
It's time to take a break.
This is why I am a teacher;
Breaks are such a special feature;
I could certainly be richer;
But I can't give up those breaks.
Lawyers and investment bankers don't get all these breaks,
So they make a lot more money; is it money that it takes
To be happy and fulfilled in life? It's teaching kids that makes
Us need so many breaks.
This is why I am a teacher;
Breaks are such a special feature;
I could certainly be richer;
But I can't give up those breaks.
Oh, there is one week in winter and there is one weeks in spring;
There's a weekend for the presidents that February brings;
But these ten days for the holidays is most certainly the thing
That makes me want to sing…
This is why I am a teacher;
Breaks are such a special feature;
I could certainly be richer;
But I can't give up those breaks.
