Randy Newman - Four Eyes Lyrics
One september morning when I was fiveMy daddy said, son, rise from your bed.I thought, I must be dreaming, its still dark outsideHe said, son if you fall behind youll never get aheadHeres your little brown cowboy shirt, put it onHeres your little brown cowboy pants, put em onHeres your little brown shoes, can you tie them yourself?Get into the car, were gone!We drove, it seemed like forever,Further than Id ever been away from homeThen my daddy stopped the car, and he turned to meHe said, son its time to make us proud of you,Its time to do whats rightGonna have to learn to work hardI said, work? what are you talking about?Youre not gonna leave me here, are you?He said yes I am!And drove off into the morning lightFor a while I stood there, on the sidewalkA roy rogers lunch pail in my handThen I heard sweet childrens voices callingAnd I began to understandThey said, four eyes! look like youre still sleeping!Four eyes! look like youre dead!Four eyes! where have you been keeping yourself?Look like you been whupped upside the head.
