Peter Paul and Mary - DOn't Laugh At Me

Peter Paul and Mary - Don't Laugh At Me

I'm a little boy with glasses, the one they call a geek

A littl girl who never smiles cuz I got braces on my teeth
And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep
I'm that kid on every playground who is always chosen last
A single teenage mother tryin to overcome her past
You don't have to be my friend if it's too much to ask

Chorus:
Don't laugh at me, don't call me names
Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same some day we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm a cripple on the corner
You pass me on the street
I wouldn't be out here begging if I had enough to eat
And don't think I dont notice that our eyes never meet
I lost my wife and little boy someone crossed that yellow line
The day we layed 'em in the ground was the day I lost my mind
Right now I'm down to holdin' this little cardboard sign

Chorus
I'm fat, I'm thin
I'm short, I'm tall
I'm deaf, I'm blind
Hey aren't we all

Chorus.
