The Lyrics
a dunce all my life
its been no fun to be me
somehow, my brain ain't too strong
a dunce, uninformed
i can't think none too speedy
and always, my reasoning's wrong
a dunce, maybe touched
being normal, i dream of
got a low IQ
something went askew
i don't know what to do
a dunce all my life
and cruel comments will hurt me
i've heard those comments before
a dunce, who knows nothing
my wits will desert me
i'm unaware of the score
a dunce, i must say
i'm so blind, i can't take it
a dummy, i know
and there's no way to fake it
a dunce all my life
its been no fun to be me
its been no fun to be me
somehow, my brain ain't too strong
a dunce, uninformed
i can't think none too speedy
and always, my reasoning's wrong
a dunce, maybe touched
being normal, i dream of
got a low IQ
something went askew
i don't know what to do
a dunce all my life
and cruel comments will hurt me
i've heard those comments before
a dunce, who knows nothing
my wits will desert me
i'm unaware of the score
a dunce, i must say
i'm so blind, i can't take it
a dummy, i know
and there's no way to fake it
a dunce all my life
its been no fun to be me

even if he wasn't a dunce, Stevie would STILL be unaware of the score - good one alvin - tight pacing - mapped perfectly onto the original - 555
Enjoy your writing....good sound-like title...your new words fit like a second skin....I like the way it builds at the ending...good work.5X3
Great - I can only reiterate above comments - straight 5s. First Ive seen of yours I shall seek out some more!
Who's Stevie i forgot oh yeah he's a singer not a lover but a troublemaker
thank you all for looking at my dumb song
Brilliant pacing and wordplay (thank goodness you resisted the temptation to make it a political rant, too): 5's all round!
It might be "no fun to be you", but it's fun to read you

alvin - Great job! A WONDER-ful sing-a-long number, too. I just did and I am sitting here with this big silly grin on my face. 5's...
Anybody who writes parodies as good as this is not a dunce, they're at least a savant. 5's
thank you all
