Cute Lizzie Bee
When I was a girl I wanted to be a cutey,
But I was skinny with a little flat chest!
Guys used to notice that my mother was a beauty,
My two pretty sisters were the neighborhood's best;
I used to drink Slim-Fast, run track, do anything,
Eat pizza, pasta, potatoes anything on a plate;
Do Jiu Jitsu, Tai Kwando, wrestle on a mat, box in a ring,
I'd do everything I thought to put on weight;
One day I was walking along and got my feelings hurt,
A group of guys on the corner really looked a mess;
I drew nearer and one acted like he wanted to flirt;
"Hey, Babe, you gotta coupla strings hangin' from your dress."
"Thanks," I said, and reached down to pull the strings off,
"Never mind, just your legs!" he said with a nasty snort.
His buddies laughed real loud and I started to cough;
I didn't cry, but I'd never felt humiliation of that sort.
That cured me from ever trying to be cute again,
If I look like a cross-eyed fool it wont't matter to me;
I've never tried to impress anybody since then,
But never again will a stupid man embarrass Lizzie Bee!
But I was skinny with a little flat chest!
