Teach Me Tonight Lyrics - April In Paris - Count Basie

Did you say that I've got a lot to learn? 

Well, don't think I'm trying not to learn 

Since this is the perfect spot to learn 

Teach me tonight 

Starting with the A-B-C of it 

Getting right down to the X-Y-Z of it 

Help me solve the mystery of it 

Teach me tonight 

The sky's a blackboard high above you 

And if a shooting star goes by 

I'll use that star to write "I love you" 

A thousand times across the sky 

One thing isn't very clear, my love 

Teachers shouldn't stand so near, my love 

Graduation's almost here, my love 

You'd better teach me tonight 

I've played loves scenes in a flick or two 

And I've also met a chick or two 

But I still can learn a trick or two 

Hey, teach me tonight 

I who thought I knew the score of it 

Kind of think I should know much more of it 

Off the wall, the bed, the floor of it 

Hey, teach me tonight 

The midnight hours come slowly creeping 

When there's no one there but you 

There must be more to life than sleeping 

Single in a bed for two 

What I need most is post graduate 

What I feel is hard to articulate 

If you want me to matriculate 

You'd better teach me tonight 

What do you get for lessons? 

Teach me 

Come on and teach me 

Teach me tonight
