Link to Dinah Washington’s performance
Link to a lead sheet
Did you say 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,
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;
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,
Should the teacher stand so near, my love?
Graduation’s almost here, my love,
Teach me tonight.
