lyrics

I am impressed that you are a genius
I just go wild when you talk to me oh so smart
But sometimes, I’m ashamed to say, I get a little jealous
That you know all the chambers of my heart

Lets take off your smarty pants
and give this dumb boy a fighting chance!
Lets take off your smarty pants
and get ready to dance, dance and dance!

Many days I’ve been alone, hoping to hear your voice on the phone
but you’ve left me hanging out here to dry
I called your mom and she said you were gone, so I crashed outside on your lawn
and your daddy ran me over with his lawn mower and I die

You turn yourself into a scientist, with a lab, potions, well you get the gist
You put my cold dead body on the operating table
You get me prepped for reanimation, restart my body with a new sensation
Bolts of lightning go through my body and now I am able...

To run and sing about how smart you are
You brought me back to life and you’ve raised the bar
Whatever knowledge I lack, I know you’ve got my back
Cuz you are my one and own, smarty pants!

So why don’t you give me a fighting chance?
