[Pete Seeger - Teacher’s Blues lyrics]

Oh teacher, teacher why are you so poor?
Oh teacher, teacher why are you so poor?
When it comes to unions you’re an amateur

Now, unions are for workers but
A teacher has prestige
Oh unions are for workers but a
Teacher has prestige he can feed his kids on
That old noblesse oblige

Now prestige is fine but so is bread and meat
Prestige is fine but so is bread and meat
What good is that white collar
When you cannot еat?
Yes he wears a whitе collar
Treat it with respect
He wears a white collar
Treat it with respect
Financially he’s solid wreck

Teacher, teacher be a happy drudge

Ooh teacher, teacher be a happy drudge
You can stoke yourself on
That old intellectual fudge

I’ve got the teacher’s blues
Those blues are on my mind
I’ve got the teacher’s blues
Those blues are on my mind
‘Cause inflation’s got me
Done left me far behind
