I started school,
In a worn torn dress that somebody threw out
(Somebody threw out!)
Passed out at school,
In a worn torn dress that somebody threw out
I started school,
In a worn torn dress that somebody threw out
Passed out at school
In a worn torn dress that somebody threw out.
or
In a war torn dress and by throughout.
I started school
In a worn torn dress that somebody threw out
Ten minutes long
Tenement slum
