Sunday Song Lyric:
Today is commencement at Case Western Reserve University and many other schools. Accordingly, I suppose I could post some saccharine graduation song. Instead I thought I'd post a classic song with at least some tangential connection to education: "Teach Me Tonight" by Gene De Paul and Sammy Cahn. I believe the first recording of the song was by Brenda Lee, but its been covered by tons of folks (including Frank Sinatra, who had his own added lyrics), and it's a great song. Here's how the lyrics begin:
Teach me tonightHere are the full lyrics and here's a classic Dinah Washington recording. You Tube has many more versions of the song.
Did you see 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.
Let's start with the ABC of it,
Roll right down to the XYZ of it
Help me solve the mystery of it,
Teach me tonight.
