I’m not a great singer. When I wrote new words to the Spiderman theme, one titled Teacher Man and the other Teacher Ms., I knew that singing the words at teacher gatherings would be memorable – but for the wrong reasons. Fortunately, two talented singers have solved my dilemma. Here are the words sung by the son and daughter of local music teacher, Greg Wheeler, from Hunting Hills High School. Thank you Ryan and Laura.

Teacher Man
Teacher Man, Teacher Man,
Always follows his lesson plan.
Pure of heart, good and kind,
Educational mastermind.
Look there –
There goes the Teacher Man.
Can he teach?
Listen, bud,
Teachin’ and learnin’ are in his blood.
When in need, don’t forget
He’s the underdog’s safety net.
You there –
Are you the Teacher Man?
In the hall, the class,
When the truth isn’t clear,
Mumble, “Sassafras.”
Teacher Man will appear!
Teacher Man, Teacher Man,
Friend of every school, Teacher Man.
Payday comes,
He’s ignored.
Helping is his reward.
Look out, got to be a
Teacher Man
Teacher Man, Teacher Man,
Friend of every school, Teacher Man.
Payday comes,
He’s ignored.
Helping is his reward.
Look out, got to be a
Teacher Man
In the hall, the class,
When the truth isn’t clear,
Mumble, “Sassafras.”
Teacher Man will appear!
Teacher Man, Teacher Man,
Always follows his lesson plan.
Pure of heart, good and kind,
Educational mastermind.
Look there –
There goes the Teacher Man.
Teacher Man, Teacher Man,
Friend of every school, Teacher Man.
Payday comes,
He’s ignored.
Helping is his reward.
Look out, got to be a
Teacher Man
