Lyrics:

Ding dong, ding dong

Well, I got the idea at the PTA
The parents and the teachers were discussing the day
Well in comes a teacher strolling through the door
She slipped on a 'nana peel and hit the floor
The teacher took a hop, then she landed like a mop
I got the idea that the teacher could hop

Well, I'm going back to school just as fast as I can
(Unintelligible)

I wanna dance with the teacher
I wanna dance with the teacher
I wanna dance with the teacher
I wanna dance with the teacher
I wanna go to school to learn about the golden rule
Just dancing with the teacher

Well they're gonna be surprised when they get the news
Like Betty Lou I got a new pair of shoes
And with these shoes I'm gonna do the hop
When I take the teacher to the high school hop
We're going up in the air, we're going over the chair
Me and the teacher with the greatest of care

My papa told me son when you finish school
You can do anything that you wanna do

So let me dance with the teacher
So let me dance with the teacher
So let me dance with the teacher
So let me dance with the teacher
I want the teacher's hand
We'll do some magic in this land
Dancing with the teacher
