Janet Gray is smart and sweet,
But Mother Nature cruelly chose
To curse her with gigantic feet,
And with a long and crooked nose.
Bobby Johnson is a dreamer;
People think that he’s a nerd,
And label him a crazy schemer
Whose ideas are absurd.
Sarah Petty is a beauty
With her long, straight auburn hair;
Every guy thinks it’s his duty,
When she’s near, to stop and stare.
Brock Malone’s the best of all
At tennis, basketball and track;
He’s handsome and he’s very tall,
And muscular from front to back.
Now Janet thinks that Brock’s a hunk
And wishes he would look her way;
She thinks that Bobby is a punk
And won’t give him the time of day.
And Brock, he thinks that Sarah’s cold,
Because the one time he did try
To ask her out, she quickly told
Him that she liked some other guy.
And Bobby thinks he’ll never find
Another girl as bright or smart
As Janet Gray---he loves her mind
And really wants to win her heart.
And Sarah, though guys just adore her,
Is unhappy anyway;
She likes Bobby, who ignores her;
He’s in love with Janet Gray.
How often people will believe
The grass is greener somewhere else,
Not realizing they deceive
No one as much as their own selves.
