She’s got everything to gain, ’cause she’s a fat girl with a lisp

She sticks up for you when you get aggravation from the snobs
Bm G D A G
’Cause you can’t afford a blazer, girl, you’re always wearing clogs
F# Bm F#
At the interval you lock yourself away inside a room
Bm F#
Head of English gets you, asks you “What the hell do you think you’re doing?

Do you think you’re better than the other kids? Well, get outside”

You’ve got permission, but you’ve got to make the bastard think he’s right
