Four-Eyed Charmer

I wear a white buttoned shirt And my friends call me four eyes But I don't care, just slowly walk away And give 'em my gang sign Don't bother with my appearance Cause I'm the king of the chess team Most guys got brons, when it comes to logic I can win before you take a seat And I'm a four-eyed charmer But a real straight A lover What girl wouldn't want to fall all over me Hold my bag on the boat when I'm sick at sea I'll give this life a mighty heave Confidence you wouldn't believe What girl wouldn't want to fall all over me Give me oxygen when I forget to breathe Some guys got British accents To impress any American gal I speak elvish and clenon They got their mansion royale Some guys eat snails a la mode And only settle for the finest wine I can foresee myself in Paris Throwing tomatoes at the mimes A true heart you'll discover Under this four-eyed charmer What girl wouldn't want to fall all over me Hold my bag on the boat when I'm sick at sea And I'm taking a leap of faith That could either destroy or save What girl wouldn't want to fall all over me Give me oxygen when I forget to breathe Now I finally got someone A lovely gal to cheer me on When I play videogames All night to the crack of dawn Now I finally got someone Who loves to rub aloe when I get a burning lobster tan On my mayonnaise skin Now I finally got someone That thinks my wondering eye Is actually kinda cute At least now I'm not so shy I am the geek with four eyes A noble prince in disguise With a girl who courageously fell for me As the Titanic sinks I'll be your Lenny And I bet it all on a whim Now I'm the one with everything With a girl who courageously fell for me Her smile augmented, when I stood on one knee

Hahah this was great! What's inside is more beautiful than in! And you proved that point perfectly! I loved the part, "A lovely gal to cheer me on When I play video games" I wouldn't be cheering you on. I'd be playing along! lol! Excellent poem!

Thank you! I wanted to write a reverse love song where the geeks gets the girl. I don't really where glasses and I suck at chess... haha. This was inspired from Weezer and Weird Al's music video White 'N' Nerdy...

I havent thought of weird al in years, I still remember his song Eat it. That is probably before your time.

LOL! Nice burn Rick... didn't see that one coming. Yes, with this one I just had a blast writing. I was inspired by Weezer and the song White 'N' Nerdy by Weird Al Yankovich.

Very good Tim, I like the humour lol. Suits you. Do you really think British accents impress American girls? lol. Enjoyed reading this. Take care, Richard

hahaha. I know you're a far cry from the geek you describe here. Nice one, Timothy. :)

It's true I don't wear glasses, nor do I speak elvish or clenon. Though I am abnormally pale (must be the Irish in me... hehe). I wanted to write a sorta backwards love song... where the geek gets the girl. Glad you got a kick out of it!
