Now repeat after me:
I feel pretty Oh so pretty I feel pretty and witty and gay And I pity Any girl who isn't me today I feel charming Oh so charming It's alarming how charming I feel And so pretty That I hardly can believe I'm real See the pretty girl in that mirror there? Who can that attractive girl be? Such a pretty face Such a pretty dress Such a pretty smile Such a pretty me! I feel stunning And entrancing Feel like running And dancing for joy For I'm loved By a pretty wonderful boy
I like your poem — but that self-appraisal sound more like if came from big A — particularly the ‘gay’ part. Based on what we have seem of his modesty, It does seem to fit, doesn't’t it?
Ah! You have the CORRECT lyrics!!
Way back in the '90's, I went to a high school production of WSS and was jarred when I heard this:
...
I feel pretty and witty and BRIGHT
And I pity
Any girl who isn't me TONIGHT...
Since WSS is one of my favorites, it was extremely telling that the words had been changed to 'protect' sensitive ears.
I don't know for sure, but if they tried this today, the Homo community would be up in arms, protesting and being really obnoxious!!
(And that would just be the school's Glee Gay Club!!!)
