For those of you wondering, Mr. Christenberry is alive and well; I wrote this song thinking "what if he passed away and I never got to tell him how I felt, or how important he was in my life?" So if you have a teacher in your life who made an impact, give them a call or write them a letter. Hell, it's the 21st century, they're probably on Facebook. But make them aware of the difference they made in your life. Hope you like the song. If you like it a lot, consider buying part or all of my CD (details below) or if you've already bought it, you can always send a little love to me on Paypal by using the "send money" button for savebrentalfloss@gmail.com
Also, some of you have been asking if there's sheet music for this song. There is, and you can buy it from me for $5 via paypal. Send me a PM with the subject "TEACHER SONG SHEET MUSIC" to get it.
By the way, in case you haven't heard, there's a 20-track CD of my funny stuff (mostly video game related) called "What if This CD... Had Lyrics?" and it's available on iTunes here http://j.mp/BF-on-iTunes and Amazon here http://amzn.com/B003J9D26I You can also buy the physical version (a must for any collector) at http://screwattackstore.com !
Here are the lyrics to this song:
---------------------------------
Mr. Carey Christenberry
You talk like a lady and youre five feet tall
You tried your very best to teach us all Thoreau, oh...
Mr. Carey Christenberry
You told my mom at open house you loved my mind
I wish Id read more of the books you assigned, ya know? Oh...
Would I be good at life and art, oh...
if you hadnt told me I was smart
and set me apart?
Mr. Carey Christenberry,
You go to church but dont believe a God exists
You only do it cause your beautiful wife insists you go,
we know
Mr. Carey Christenberry,
You could have had a column in a magazine
But now your average reader is 17 or so, oh
I wanted to be like you some day, oh...
Most of my friends thought you were gay
What does that say?
I guess I should have told you then
Wo oh oh oh oh
Cause I wont get that chance again
No oh oh oh oh
You were weird, you were loud, you made me smile, you made me mad
You're the best teacher I ever had
So I hope youre listening
Mr. Carey Christenberry
You made us write a piece about what wed learned
I didnt quite get it all on the paper turned in though, oh
Mr. Carey Christenberry
You may as well have taught me how to tie my shoes
Considering the frequency with which I use
The stuff I learned watching you blow a fuse
Mr. Carey Christenberry, Mr. Carey Christenberry
I guess thats all I had to say
I still wanna be like you some day
Mr. Christenberry.
