English Teacher Lyrics by Original Broadway Cast of Bye Bye Birdie

Bye Bye Birdie (Original Broadway Cast Recording)

0

[Rosie]
His going in the Army
It's the best thing he could do
Now you're free to start to do
What you wanted to
Albert, Albert, A-A-A-Albert!
I remember how you told me
I should trust you for a year
It would just be for a year
But it's eight years, Albert!
Eight long years, Albert!
[Albert]
Rosie, it takes time to build a business
[Rosie]
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!
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 Kappa Peterson
The English teacher's wife!
[Albert]
Oh Rosie, I told you as soon as I get a few bucks ahead...
[Rosie]
You said it before, Albert!
And along came Conrad Birdie
And it was goodbye, Jeffery Josser
Hello, William Morris
Goodbye, NYU
Hello AlMaeLou
'Cause, when you wrote Conard's first hit
Agha-bagha-boo
Then I knew, that was it
You were through, with English
Forever
An English teacher, 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 Kappa Peterson
The English teacher's wife!
