Sweater

I could never wear that sweater

I could never wear that sweater

My grandpa gave me hand-me-down

When i put it on i look like a clown

All the kids would beat me up at school

Made me itch 'cause it was made of wool

Leather bound buttons and a monkey-shit brown

Everywhere i go people putting me down

When i go and do the little bottom buttons up

Makes me look like i got a big beer gut

I could never wear that sweater

I could never wear that sweater

Coming home late on an afternoon

My lip was all bloody and my forehead all bruised

Singing all the blues like a hoody led better

All because of that shitty brown sweater

Thitty little sweater causing too much pain

Hung it in the closet never wear it again

No disrespect to my grandpa

But this sweater incident has gone too far

I could never wear that sweater

I could never wear that sweater

Late last June i was buying some slacks

From favourite Op Shop named Aunty Jacks

Took them back to my abode

Had a good look through my big wardrobe

Then i spied that certain sweater

But somehow it looked so much better

When i put it on no turning back

Even looked good with my new brown slacks

I could never wear that sweater

I could never wear that sweater
