Have You Heard About Our Teacher?

Have you heard about our teacher?
It really surprises us so
We never thought she'd do it
And then before we knew it
She up and caught herself a beau!

For years and years and years she's tried to catch one
Her folks were beginning to get a little afraid
That time was running out and she was just about
To turn into an old school teacher maid!

And then one day she cast her eyes on Lonny
And was determined she would catch him in her net
She said no one could stop her
And man she caught a whopper
We don't know how she did it yet!

But she has lots of little tricky tactics
She's always working on a scheme or two
She said, "I'll make some plans, how I can catch this man"
Just let us tell you of a few.

We were planning on our swimming party
Packed it with fun galore
Then Miss Fullmer went to the phone and said,
792-84.

"Hi Lonny, we're having a party
This Monday night at eight
My Sunday school class has got it all planned
And they can hardly wait
But twenty kids are coming, I can't handle them alone
So I was wondering if you'd be the other chaperone?"

"And then, of course, I guess you know
That I can't swim a stroke
So if I should need a life guard
You'll be around, I hope?"

So Lonny came to the party
To protect her from all harm
And when the night got chilly
He kept her comfy warm!

And when she was teaching in Provo
Once again her plans were laid
She decided she must have some help
To make some visual aids.

She'd promised her little students
She'd build a teepee strong
With colors bold and daring
She'd have to call on Lon.

So off to the little school room
They went one moonlit eve
To complete another assignment
She was laughing up her sleeve.

They painted, pasted, cut and snipped
And how the time went by
They didn't really notice
Do you know the reason why?

A policeman strolling on the street
Kept looking at that light
And said, "What could be going on in there
When it's this time of night?"

He strolled some more and checked his watch
And with no further hesitation
He said, "I think it's time to start on my investigation."
So carefully he tiptoed up to the door to listen
And said, "Oh dear, I think I hear,
Somebody in there kissin'!"

He pushed the door with all his might
Do you know what it was instead?
It was the teachers marking pen
Scratching on more red!
They weren't making whoopee
Just a teepee!

Well we could go on forever
And tell you about her schemes
But by now you all have realized
That all her plans materialized
And she found the answer to her dreams.

So today the news is greatest
And it's the very latest
For she not only caught him
But as of today she's GOT HIM --- FOR KEEPS!
