funky teacherと遊ぼうぜ
一緒に踊ろうよパソドブレ
只者じゃない こんな先生いたって
いいじゃない?
がんじがらめ ある意味乱暴
だからちゃんと子供達に
生きた教育送る マジに
まずはしまえよ教科書
学力より創造性を評価しよう
夢を語れ そして笑え
悔しい時 声出して泣いてしまえ
家に帰ればお手伝い
沢山の友達と 手を繋いで
作れよ思い出
女子はボーイフレンド
男子はガールフレンド
恋もしちゃって!
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
こんな人見た事ない funky teacher
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
年中無休 毎日がフィーバー
耳澄まして聴いてなよ listen
学校じゃ教えてくれない lesson
one two, one two, one two three
時に声を荒らげて厳しい
時に仏様のように優しい
funky teacher 俺の事
話すメッセージ アイスノンも
溶ける程熱い
体育ダメでも 勉強は満点
勉強ダメでも 体育が断然
出来る奴は大好き
両方ダメでも 頑張る奴もっと好き
(お腹が空いたよfunky teacher!)
ならば外に出てピクニック
(ダンス教えてよfunky teacher!)
よし見てろ、腰をこう
クイック! クイック!
こんな感じのホームルーム
しゃべり場なみ言い合って
大きくなる
これがfunky流 起こせ乱気流
今日も子供の為にと張り切る
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
こんな人見た事ない funky teacher
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
年中無休 毎日がフィーバー
耳澄まして聴いてなよ listen
学校じゃ教えてくれない lesson
one two, one two, one two three
夢が満載の文化祭
かっこいい所見せろよ運動会
そして 待ちに待った遠足へ
おやつはもちろん300円
(バナナはおやつに入るの?)
入らないからもう1つ買いなよ
and てるてる坊主におまじない
「お願い!」明日天気になあれ!
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
こんな人見た事ない funky teacher
(yeah, yeah, yeah)
年中無休 毎日がフィーバー
耳澄まして聴いてなよ listen
学校じゃ教えてくれない lesson
one two, one two, one two three
SEAMO's song "Funky Teacher" is an anthem to unconventional teaching methods and a tribute to educators who prioritize creativity and encourage their students to think outside the box. The lyrics list various subjects taught in school, including science, history, reading, language, computer, art, PE, and mathematics, but highlight the importance of adding funky music to the mix. The chorus invites listeners to play and dance with the funky teacher, who stands out from the norm and isn't just a regular teacher. The song celebrates the diversity of teaching styles and suggests that a little bit of fun and individuality can go a long way in keeping students engaged and motivated.
The verses of "Funky Teacher" describe the restrictions and rigidity of some school's rules and curriculum, but also offer a positive vision of what education could be. The funky teacher is presented as someone who values creativity over academic prowess, who encourages dreaming and laughter, who is both tough and kind, and who sends children home with memories of friendships and happy times. The lyrics also mention specific activities that the funky teacher likes to do with the students, such as having a picnic, teaching dance moves, and wishing for good weather with a teru-teru bozu.
Overall, "Funky Teacher" is a catchy, upbeat, and uplifting song that celebrates the joy of learning and the role of teachers in shaping young minds. The song's message is both simple and profound: that education should be fun, inspiring, and inclusive, and that teachers who embrace their own quirks and passions can make a positive difference in the lives of their students.
