Red Red Eyes
(A tribute to teachers to the tune of Red Red Wine)
Red red eyes, burn in my head
Make me forget that I
Should be in my bed
Red red lines are covering my eyes
I thought I was doing right
Grading papers all night
With red red eyes
I had sworn that with time
I would find my way to bed
I was wrong now I find
Just one thing makes me forget
Red red eyes
Stay closed for me
I can’t stay up all night
It’s tearing apart
My blue blue eyes
I had sworn that with time
I would find my way to bed
I was wrong, now I find
Just one thing makes me forget
Red red eyes
Oh how I need Visine
Help me to see again
Got papers to grade again
Through red red eyes
Shalom!
