I'm an ALT now and those

Teacher Blues can take me away,

Well I'm an ALT now and those

Teacher Blues can take me away,

You can cry for mercy,

Or sit back, smile, and play.

I walked in the classroom

And Kenji did stare me down

I said I walked in the classroom,

young Kenji stared me down

That boy can’t move his lips

Except to make a frown

Kenji Ain’t talkin’

And Keiko she just don’t care

That boy Kenji ain’t talkin

And Keiko she don’t care

She could be pushin’ down stickers

Just about anywhere.

I gotta’ start laughing

And thank god I’m an ALT

I just stand there laughing

Thankin god I’m an ALT

I’m lookin at these students

Just a pitying their JTE.

I'm an ALT now and those

Teacher Blues can take me away,

Well I'm an ALT now and those

Teacher Blues can take me away,

You can cry for mercy,

Or sit back, smile, and play.
