My throat is scratchy
and my voice is too
my head is aching
and I feel so blue
I could take off sick
but this ain’t no flu
and making a sub plan
is so dang hard to do
got the sick teacher blues

I know that tomorrow
is a day down the drain
whether I go in sick
or I choose to remain
this sick teacher dilemma
gonna drive me insane
got the sick teacher blues
