The Professor - Idina Menzel
Written by：Idina Menzel
So I'm a Long Island girl
Long Island New York
And I went to uh thank you
I went to New York University and I studied theater
I took this class down in the village Lafayette and Asterplace
It was a musical theater workshop thing and they called it song interpretation
I had this huge crush on my professor who was gay
But freshman girls in college never know that
So I don't know why but he gave us this assignment
To bring a Cole Porter song to class and approach it like a monologue
So I picked the sexiest Cole Porter song I could find
Which was Love For Sale
I figured I was gonna kill two birds with one stone
I'm going to seduce my teacher and fulfill the assignment
So I get up in front of class and I've worn
You know we used to get really seriously back
Then so I dressed for the role
I wore some sexy lingerie under my college clothes
And I put on some trashy makeup and I get up in front of class
And I start singing
And I get just a couple lines in and he abruptly stops me
And says woah what are you doing
And I just stood there and I said
I'm singing Love For Sale Cole Porter
And he says have you even given any thought to what this song is about
What the lyrics are saying
And I thought I was just gonna burst into tears and he said
This is about a woman who's out on the street
In the middle of the night
Being objectified and harassed and God knows what with all of these men
She doesn't know where she's gonna get her next meal from
Or how she's gonna pay her rent
She's lonely she's desperate and she's scared
