Dear Mr Marquand

The SummerSouls got busy in the studio last week, with a special dedication to a special teacher...



Dear Mr Marquand
Here's a few things you need to know that
you are the greatest teacher
in the whole wide world

You play guitar and bass, your basketball is ace
You got a GoPro on your head to film a
snowboard race
Please don’t wait too long,
update your mobile phone
Ring Vodafone, ring ring Vodafone

We like your famous quotes
You like our random jokes
We know your vice is eating savouries
and sausage rolls
We'll let you off the hook
We know your wife can cook
Sing along with me, sing sing along with me

You need to know that we think you are amazing
Sorry if we drive you crazy
Tell us everything’s alright

Dear Mr Marquand
Heres a few things you need to know that
you are the greatest teacher
in the whole wide world
Dear Mr Marquand
If we're gonna pass Te Pahu Challenge
Double check your kit gear list, makin' sure its right

Pack your hiking boots, got your waterproofs
Pack your lunch and bring along a good attitude.
We need a sugary treat, to sooth our aching feet
Mint imperials, Mint, Mint Imperials
You need to know that we think you are amazing
Sorry if we drive you crazy
Tell us everything's alright

Dear Mr Marquand
Here's a few things you need to know that
you are the greatest teacher
in the whole wide world (x2)

You give us Mint Imperials everyday hey!
Take us out for a game everyday yay!
You keep up with the noisy boys
Us girls think that’s really choice

You need to know that we think you are amazing
Sorry if we drive you crazy
Tell us everything's alright

Dear Mr Marquand
Here's a few things you need to know that
you are the greatest teacher
in the whole wide world (x2)

Mr Marquand… You got it right.
