Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
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 'cause 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
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 had 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 want to hug, hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I want to hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I want to hug, hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I want to hug, hug him)
When I kissed the teacher
(I want to hug, hug, hug him)
The ABBA song "When I Kissed The Teacher" is a light-hearted story about a schoolgirl who impulsively kisses her teacher and the chaos that ensues. The first two verses describe how her friends and classmates react with shock and excitement, while the teacher himself is taken aback but ultimately amused. The chorus features the singer expressing her infatuation with the teacher and her desire to show him how she feels. The final verse reveals that the kiss occurred during a geometry lesson, and the singer was so swept up in the moment that she couldn't resist.
Looking beyond the surface level, "When I Kissed The Teacher" can be interpreted as a commentary on how societal norms and power dynamics can influence perceptions of romantic and sexual relationships. The fact that the singer is a student and the teacher is an authority figure adds an element of taboo to their interaction. Additionally, the song can be seen as a playful challenge to traditional gender roles, as it depicts a young woman taking the initiative in pursuing a man.

Спасибо! С юности хотел послушать этот альбом на виниле. Но купить его тогда в СССР было непросто, даже невозможно. Купил его уже на CD. Звук, конечно, на виниловой пластинке лучше!
