Tele! tele!

Len Lewis 1943 (Port of Spain, Trinidad)



Tele Tele
Best teacher of all
Tele Tele
Can't beat it at all
Teaching good and teaching bad
To every lass and every lad

Teach them what is bliss
Teach them how to date
Teach them how to kiss
How to love and how to hate

Teach them how to grab
Teach them how to live
Teach them how to stab
Teach them how to give

Teach them how to shoot
Teach them how to duck
Teach them how to loot
Hey! I think I'll pass this buck!
