Now my teacher tried to tell me 
That I could never succeed in the world of business, yeah. 
I said,That's o.k. teacher. 
Cause I never did want to give anybody the business. 
But teacher listen 
Teacher, teacher we got a message for you now 
Goes like this teacher 
Oh teacher 
You egghead 
You think you've got the world sewed up 
You never did learn how to treat a man 
You need to eat a slice of humble pie 
And the longer you wait the worse it's gonna taste

It's my time 
Hey! 
I want everybody to listen to me now 
It's my time 
Hey! 
And I want everybody to listen to me now 
Look listen to the record 
I'll admit I have been lazy 
And I've been called crazy 
In my time I've played and played 
But I can get down 
And quit foolin' around 
When the weather gets rough 
Situation gets tough

But I may be the sweetest apple on the tree
