​brentalfloss - Mr. Carey Christenberry lyrics

Mr carey Christenberry
You talk like a lady and
You're 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 I'd read more of
The books you assigned, ya know? Oh

Would I be good at life and art
Whoa oh oh oh oh
If you hadn't told me I was smart
And set me apart? Mr carey Christenberry
You go to church but don't
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 oh oh oh oh
Most of my friends thought you were gay
What does that say?

I guess I should have told you then
Whoa oh oh oh oh
'Cause, I won't 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 you're listening

Mr carey Christenberry
You made us write a piece
About what we'd learned
I didn't quite get it all on
The paper I turned in though, no
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 that's all I had to say
I still wanna be like you some day

Mr christenberry
