(063) The Not-So-Cool Glasses

When I once went out shopping I bought a pair of glasses But pity I couldn’t wear them In between all my classes. I still loved wearing those glasses Even though I could see well We never were separated For more time than the tinkle of a bell But there was something odd about those glasses When I wore them things seemed to shrink And things began to disappear Like things that I eat or drink Even people didn’t accept me Like all my friends at school I guess they don’t think I am smart, Dashing, rocking or cool So one day I took off my glasses In the crowded school hallway When everybody began saying compliments like, “You’re cool” This wonderful dream can’t be true, no way. Now I have all my friends back But I have given up one thing “I’ve got rid of my glasses” Is the song which I now always sing.
