oh captain my captain


When it seems you’re short of knowledge

Visit Tallinn English College

That’s my best advice to you

The house is full of girls and boys

To whom books have been their first toys

No it’s not a joke it’s true

 

The only thing we want: to learn

And those who don’t, we guess – they’ll burn

At least don’t get to heaven

Abundance of intelligence

Great genius and common sende

In TEC, the former „Seven“

 

We’re good at grammar, languages

We honour Shakespeare’s heritage

And understand his greatness

We’re just as good at chemistry

At physics, math and history

Praise talent’s beaming brightness

 

We’re striving all for excellence

We, future men of prominence

We, Einsteins, Shaws, da Vincis

When fertilizing daffodils

We’ll be some day or other – still

Vast progress, can’t count inches

 

To overcome ourselves each day

This is the price for us to say

One day the word „Remeber!“

Come join us and you’ll find out soon

That cleverness is warm like June

But ignorance – December

 

Long live the College, our school

It teaches us: use books as tools

Erect your monument

Make use of life, for it’s not long

Be honest and improve what’s wrong

Know: knowledge gives content
