COMPLETE LYRICS

Square pegs, square pegs.  Square, square pegs
Always never quite right.
I’d like it if they liked us, but I don’t think they like us.
So tell me where’s the party, and how come we weren’t invited?
One size does not fit all.

Don’t wanna wear my glasses, I have to wear my glasses.
Why are we wearing this year what they were wearing last year?
Yeah, I’d be cuter without gum in my braces.
I hope the whole is greater than the sum of it’s parts.

She said that she was, but we know she isn’t
And she said that she would but he hasn’t asked her.

He did - and we know it.  But with whom?  We can't guess it.
And they think that we’re the.

Square pegs, square pegs.  Square, square pegs

Really funny - who broke the π button on my calculator?
May you be eternally grounded.
Me?  Get juiced with The Cool Patrol?
Uh . . . no thanks . . . Why do you think they call it beer?
I mean...listen to him!

(sax solo)

Square pegs, square pegs.  Square, square pegs

Ya know, our school colors should be black and blue.
Yeah. I mean no.  Huh? What?
No. I don’t think I have a bad attitude. Why?
Suspended? Suspended for what?
But they told me it was Senior Wig Day!
Honest, I don’t even know how those worms got there.
Now, what would I do with 200 peanut butter cups?
One size does not fit all

   

Sara Jessica Parker - star of Square Pegs - has "rounded off" quite nicely. Proving once again that TV makes all dreams come true. And now she's having plenty of sex in the city.
