"80% Polyester"

Mom used't get blister on her hand
maintaining Pop pants
He had least twenty pair
of those green workman's pants

1953, dat was her assembly line

How for the life of me,
she got all the oil and gunk off
she never revealed.

I'm curious!
I wear those same dumb pants nah,
cleaning toilet bowls
shoveling snow,
'placing light bulbs
whatever the comp'ny need

I got no wife and no kid
to daydream of us as I
They coming though.

2009, is my walk across that stage

not a real stage, but in my mind
my diploma is a new leaf
35 don't equal 12
the years sorta blew by

In my tan suit
fits like a glove from eighty....two?
600 for a suit no thanks

In May, I know it'll be warm
birds chirpin,
gardens smilin at me

'Goin straight to the Olive Garden
And get a quarter pound of beef dinner special

No, I'm gonna wear my black suit and be a rebel
and my glasses...I'll be a nerd!
