im the youngest of 6 boys.. all of my brothers are super successful.

lawyer, doctor, chartered accountant, mechanical engineer, sound tech.. and me..

well i just quick my paper route and strum on the old 6 string.

I was sitting at my home one day doing nothing (cause i dont have a job) and i thought, even though i dont do anything.. my mom still thinks im pretty damn sweet!! the song was born..

All my ‘b’s look like ‘d’s, upside down the are ‘p’s

This calligraphy is killing me

And its ‘I’ before ‘e’ except some times after ‘c’

My spelling is an atrocity

All this chalk on the wall is making no sence at all

Would somebody help me please

No I sure didn’t do GOOD at school, but my mom thinks im cool

 

Look at my ive got a high school degree I barely fit in society

Ive got hopes and dreams, believe in bountiful things

I can be all that I can be

(no) ive got no phd (no) ive got no money

but its plain to see that my mom she loves me for me

 

gym class I passed but that math kicked my ass

never did like geometry

there were too many angles, square roots of rectangles

multiplying my misery

no I sure didn’t do GOOD at school, but my mom thinks im cool

 

Look at my ive got a high school degree I barely fit in society

Ive got hopes and dreams, believe in bountiful things

I can be all that I can be

(no) ive got no phd (no) ive got no money

but its plain to see that my mom she loves me for me

 

my dog was neutered after I was tutored

on sexual philosophy

Aristotle turned me on to a bottle

Learning ethics from Socrates

From what I recall, getting sent to the hall

Wasn’t much of a sentencing

No I sure didn’t do GOOD at school, but my mom thinks im cool

 

Look at my ive got a high school degree I barely fit in society

Ive got hopes and dreams, believe in bountiful things

I can be all that I can be

(no) ive got no phd (no) ive got no money

but its plain to see that my mom she loves me for me

well its plain to see that my mom she loves me for me!
