Mister Professor
Recorded by Leroy Van Dyke
Written by Harlan Howard
 
G                                       Am
Mister professor you're well educated I know
    D7
But some things you quote to our youngsters
                G  C
Has troubled me so
        G
They're under your influence
                      C
So hear my cry in the night
    D7
And if you go changing the good kids we sent you
                    G
Be sure that you're right
 
       C
On the subject of God
                             G
If you have any doubts don't discuss 'em
      A7
For a teacher should teach
 
And a preacher should preach
                          D7
Not betray the people who trust 'em
 
   G          D7
We sent you a good Christian boy
                        C
And he knows right from wrong
  D7
Beware of the danger
                              G
Don't send us a stranger back home
 
                            D7
Now if you look down with a cynical frown
      Am
On us poor working slobs
     D7
Then all I can say is the taxes we pay
             G
Created your jobs
 
 
Don't turn our kids loose on the world
                 C
With a messed up mind 
     D7
Just help them with learning
                                           G
Not marching and burning and we'll like it fine
 
                    C
I've heard that you tell kids 
                              G
To run from the draft if they can
A7
Well his dad didn't run
 
And if he's daddy son
                             D7
He'll handle his name like a man
 
   G
So don't build a wall
                            C
Between them and the people outside
    D7
For life's what it is making men
                 G
Not cowards that run and hide
  D7
Beware of the danger
                              G
Don't send us a stranger back home
