english teacher - original broadway cast of bye bye birdie lyrics

[rosie]
his going in the army
it’s the best thing he could do
now you’re free to start to do
what you wanted to
albert, albert, a-a-a-albert!
i remember how you told me
i should trust you for a year
it would just be for a year
but it’s eight years, albert!
eight long years, albert!

[albert]
rosie, it takes time to build a business

[rosie]
it was only a sideline
that’s what you said
you just needed some money
that’s what you said
you were going to college, and get ahead
instead of being a music business bum
you were going to nyu
and become, an english teacher!
an english teacher, an english teacher
if only you’d been an english teacher
we’d have a little apartment in queens
you’d get a summer vacation
and we would know what life means
a man who’s got his masters
is really someone
how proud i’d be if you had become one
it could have been such a wonderful life
i could have been mrs. peterson
mrs. albert peterson
mrs. phi beta kappa peterson
the english teacher’s wife!

[albert]
oh rosie, i told you as soon as i get a few bucks ahead…

[rosie]
you said it before, albert!
and along came conrad birdie
and it was goodbye, jeffery josser
h-llo, william morris
goodbye, nyu
h-llo almaelou
’cause, when you wrote conard’s first hit
agha-bagha-boo
then i knew, that was it
you were through, with english
forever
an english teacher, is really someone
how proud i’d be, if you had become one!
it could have been such a wonderful life
i could have been mrs. peterson
mrs. albert peterson
mrs. phi beta kappa peterson
the english teacher’s wife!
