On the way into school
I passed by those girls
The ones that will be prom queen
They looked at me and said
"Her shirt doesn't match
Her pants today,
Looks like she'll never get laid"
After gym glass
I passed all those jocks
The ones that wish for fame
They glanced at me and said
"She's too short
To kiss anyway,
I'll bet she'll never be laid"
And to them, I have to say
Too bad you'll always be laid
Too bad you don't know
The beauty inside
The beauty you never wanted to find
Too bad you want a girl's outer looks
So what if she's got an IQ of two?
She'll always be a good lay
On the way to math class
You passed the prom queens
They sneered at you and said
"He's too tall
To dance with me at prom,
My guess is he'll never be laid"
In the lunch line
You stood before the jocks
They laughed at you and said
"He's got so many pimples
All over his face
He'll never ever get laid"
And to them, you ought to say
Too bad you'll always be laid
Too bad you can't see
The genius inside
The genius you're too dumb to know
Too bad you want a handsome guy
So what if he's got a Swiss ski lodge?
He'll always be a good lay
Beauty is something
We've all got to find
It won't be on the outside
But it will prove to be
On the inside of us
Our genius and strength
Our love and our faith
Our courage and hope
Our souls and our fates
They don't understand
That beauty isn't everything
Nor that outsides always matter
Walking into our tenth year reunion
We pass by those girls and guys
The prom queens and the jocks
They gasp and stare in awe at us
For we are now beautiful
They sag and hunch and wrinkle
We take the prize and laugh it off
Over a bottle of expensive wine
They whisper at their tables
"When we were in school
They were so ugly
How did they ever get laid"
We know the truth
We were beautiful
And someone saw that inside
And too bad for them..
We got laid
