Verse 1 When some say that teachers have it easy,
You know what I think I agree!
They get to spend cold playtimes sitting inside,
With biscuits and hot cups of tea!
While we’re making do with a small piece of fruit,
They all munch on their kit-kats with glee!
When some say that teachers have it easy,
You know what I think I agree!

Verse 2 When some say that teachers have it easy,
I reckon that this might be right!
They get to boss children about all day long,
And make us do homework at night!
Because we’re not old we must do as we’re told,
Which is such an insufferable plight!
When some say that teachers have it easy,
I reckon that this might be right!

Verse 3 When some say that teachers have it easy,
The nail has been hit on the head!
They seem to have very long holidays,
While others are working instead!
I bet it’s a breeze living life with such ease,
Must be comfy as staying in bed!
When some say that teachers have it easy,
The nail has been hit on the head!

Verse 4 When I have left school and have grown up,
A teacher I think I shall be.
I’ll turn up at nine, by half-three it’s home time!
But then again, hmmm, let me see……
There’s planning, assessing,
Marking and testing,
Curriculum knowledge,
Four years at college,
Meetings, form-filling,
They have to show willing
When mums want a conversation
At morning registration……phew!
When some say that teachers have it easy,
I’m sorry, but I just can’t agree!
