• Teacher, teacher
  There's so much I'm longin' to know
  'Cause my heart has been all aglow
  From the moment we met
  Teacher, make me, make me
  Make me the teacher's pet
  
  Teacher, teacher
  Educate me with a caress
  Teach me nothin' less than a lesson
  I'll never forget
  Teacher, make me, make me
  Make me the teacher's pet
  
  I read more in your lovin' eyes
  Than in any book from the shelf
  I don't have to tell you
  You're in a class by yourself
  
  Kiss me, kiss me
  After that, please kiss me again
  Show me all that special attention
  You'll never regret
  'Cause I'll do my home work diligently
  Till we're both at least a hundred and three
  Teacher, hold me, kiss me
  Make me the teacher's pet
  
  I read more in your lovin' eyes
  Than in any book from the shelf
  I don't have to tell you
  You're in a class all by yourself
  
  Kiss me, kiss me
  After that, please kiss me again
  Show me all that special attention
  You'll never regret
  'Cause I'll do my home work diligently
  Till we're both at least a hundred and three
  Teacher, hold me, kiss me
  Make me the teacher's pet!!
  
  Show me that you love me
  Oh, teacher, make me your pet!! Writer/s: Al Nevins, Artie Dunn, Buck Ram, Morty Nevins

• Mariaaggie from TexasDidn’t Bugs Bunny tap dance to this song? I remember being a child, I was familiar and fond of this song, but it was way past it being a regular rotation on radio in the 70s. My Mom had a record of The Platters and I thought this was such an elegant romantic song. The Platters were so majestic ..,and that voice.
• Moanin' Lisa from Chillicothe Mo.This is a very cool love song. What imagery! I learned about this huge hit thru my Dad's record collections from the 50s & 60s. He was a huge Platters & Elvis fan. About ten years ago, I saw one version of The Plattters on a PBS golden oldies concert with stars of the 50s & 60s. All of those Platters members were new. I don't know if they still perform. I seem to recall a big lawsuit over the rights to the name between a few other groups called The Platters too. Never heard of the results of the lawsuit. The original group was a real phenomenon in music.
• Barry from Sauquoit, NyOn June 15th 1958, the Platters performed "Twilight Time" on the CBS-TV program 'The Ed Sullivan Show'...
