  C      Cdim Dm7    G7        C      Cdim  Dm7        
Teacher's pet,    I wanna be teacher's pet,

   G7      C          Gdim
I wanna be huddled and cuddled

   Dm7            G7     C  E7-5  A7  D7-5
As close to you as I can get.

 
  C       Cdim Dm7   G7       C       Cdim   Dm7 
Teacher's pride,   I wanna be teacher's pride,

   G7      C        Gdim
I wanna be dated and rated

    Dm7            G7      C     Am6    B7
The one most likely at your side.



Bridge:

        Em             Em7      Am6      B7
I wanna learn all your lips can teach me;

Em           C7         B7
One kiss will do at the start.

D7   G   Cdim   Em     Cm
I'm sure with a little homework,

D7                   Dm7-5     G7
I'll graduate to your heart.


  C      Cdim Dm7    G7        C     Cdim  Dm7 
Teacher's pet,    I wanna be teacher's pet,

   G7        C         Gdim
I wanna take home a di - plo - ma

    Dm7              G7      C    C/B   A7
And show Ma that you love me, too,

D9 G7       C        Gdim
So I can be teacher's pet

Dm7         G7        C
Long after school is through.
