The Original Broadway Cast of School of Rock
Teacher’s Pet
[Intro: Dewey Finn]
Hi, we are the School of Rock
And this song was written by our lead guitarist, Zack Mooneyham
[Verse 1: Dewey Finn]
Baby, we was makin' straight A's
But we were stuck in a dumb daze
Don't take much to memorize your lies
I feel like I've been hypnotized
And then the magic man, he come to town
Woo-Wee! Done spun my head around
He said, "Recess is in session, two and two make five"
And now, baby, oh, I'm alive
Ah, Yea! I'm alive
[Chorus: Dewey Finn & Background Singers]
And if you wanna be the teacher's pet (Ooh, la-la)
Well, baby, you just better forget it (Ooh, la-la-la)
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme (Ooh, la-la-la)
You better get me to school on time (Ooh, ooh, ooh, yeah!)
[Guitar Solo]
[Verse 2: Dewey Finn & Tomika]
Oh, you know I was on the Honor Roll
Got good grades and got no soul
Ooh, Raise my hand before I can speak my mind
I've been biting my tongue too many times
And then that magic man took to obey (Uh, huh)
Do what magic man do, not what magic man say (Say what?)
[Interlude: Dewey Finn & Class]
Now, can I please have the attention of the class
Today's ass-ignment, Haha-ha
KICK SOME ASS!
[Chorus: Dewey Finn]
And if you wanna be the teacher's pet
Well, baby, you just better forget it
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme
You better get me to school on time
And if you wanna be the teacher's pet
Baby, you just better forget it
Rock got no reason, rock got no rhyme
You better get me to school on time
Oh, yeah! (Yeah!)
[Interlude]
Ladies and gentlemen, Lawrence on keys!
[Keyboard Solo]
[Outro: Dewey Finn]
Now, this is my final exam
Y'all know who I am
I might not be that perfect son
But y'all be rockin' when I'm done
Zack Mooneyham everyone!
[Guitar Solo]
