A G7
We all used to call him Jimmy the Geek,
D G A D
He was a dumb-lookin', scrawny, little four-eyed freak.
A G7
He never used to hang around with the guys,
D G A D
He'd just sit in the corner, attractin' the flies.
G D G D
He wasn't much to look at, he never was very bright,

but at least there was one thing that he could do all right:

Picking teams, he would always be last,
