Four Eyes — текст песни (Randy Newman)

My daddy said Son rise from your bed.
I thought I must be dreaming it`s still dark outside
He said Son if you fall behind you`ll never get ahead
Here`s your little brown cowboy shirt put it on
Here`s your little brown cowboy pants put `em on
Here`s your little brown shoes can you tie them yourself?
Get into the car we`re gone!

We drove it seemed like forever
Further than I`d ever been away from home
Then my daddy stopped the car, and he turned to me
He said, Son it`s time to make us proud of you,
It`s time to do what`s right
Gonna have to learn to work hard
I said, Work? What are you talking about?
You`re not gonna leave me here, are you?
He said Yes I am!
And drove off into the morning light

For a while I stood there, on the sidewalk
A Roy Rogers lunch pail in my hand
Then I heard sweet children`s voices calling
And I began to understand
They said, Four eyes! Look like you`re still sleeping!
Four eyes! Look like you`re dead!
Four eyes! Where have you been keeping yourself?
Look like you been whupped upside the head.
