Abba - When I Kissed The Teacher / 1976

Abba - "When I Kissed The Teacher" 1976


This is one of eight songs Abba performed for the Polish tv special filmed on October 7-8 1976. Six were from their new Arrival album.
It was not enough for Abba just to sing their songs, the performance was just as important to them. They got close to the audience whenever they could, to bring them into the action.
Here the girls use a cat-walk to dance their way alongside the audience. Notice that Frida puts her hands on a lucky guy's face at 1:35. Those hot Swedes did not need any lessons in kissing, they were often doing in it photos and even on stage. The 2 couples were at their closest now.


Lyrics,versuri:
Everybody screamed when I kissed the teacher,
And they must have thought they dreamed,
When I kissed the teacher,
All my friends at school,
They had never seen the teacher blush,
He looked like a fool,
Nearly petrified 'cos he was taken by surprise,
When I kissed the teacher,
Couldn't quite believe his eyes,
When I kissed the teacher,
My whole class went wild,
As I held my breath, the world stood still
But then he just smiled,
I was in the seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher,
One of these days,
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night,
One of these days,
Gonna show him I care,
Gonna teach him a lesson alright,
I was in a trance when I kissed the teacher,
Suddenly I took the chance when I kissed the teacher,
Leaning over me,
He was trying to explain the laws of geometry,
And I couldn't help it, I just had to kiss the teacher
One of these days,
Gonna tell him I dream of him every night,
One of these days,
Gonna show him I care,
Gonna teach him a lesson alright,
What a crazy day, when I kissed the teacher
All my sense has flown away when I kissed the teacher,
My whole class went wild,
As I held my breath, the world stood still
But then he just smiled,
I was in the seventh heaven when I kissed the teacher,
I wanna hug, hug, hug him
When I kissed the teacher,
I wanna hug, hug him
When I kissed the teacher,
I wanna hug, hug, hug him
When I kissed the teacher,
I wanna hug, hug him
When I kissed the teacher,
I wanna hug, hug, hug him
