Mikey's Places version of Peter Yarrow's

Don't Laugh at Me

sung by the Hanmer School's ad hoc

Children's Chorus

June 2, 2001

I'm a little boy with glasses, the one they call a geek;
A little girl wno never smiles because I've got braces on;
And I know how it feels to cry myself to sleep.

I'm that kid on every playground who's always chosen last;
I do my best at sports but I just can't run that fast;
You don't have to be my friend but is that too much to ask?

Refrain:

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 the beggar on the corner; you've passed me on the street;
And I wouldn't be out begging if I had enough to eat;
And don't think I don't notice that our eyes never meet.

Refrain: ...

I'm fat.    I'm thin.
I'm short.    I'm tall.
I'm deaf.    I'm blind.
Hey, aren't we all?
Don't laugh at me.

Refrain:

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.
