The I.Q. Test

I'm smarter than the average man
Cause I done took that test
You know, the one that says I'm a genius,
And smarter than all the rest?

Yep, I'm a member of mensa
Mamas Enjoy Nourishing Son's Apptitude
I knew you wouldn't know what it meant
It's okay to show me a little gratitude

I think I must be pretty darn smart
Mama says I scored a perfect ten
Those testers couldn't believe their eyes
And they made me take it again

And now I go to a special school
And I ride a special bus
It's much shorter for the geniuses
Cause there's not many of us

Now don't nobody get jealous
Cause of my perfect ten I.Q.
Someday after I learn how
I'll teach you to tie your shoe
