You're sad, you said?

How terrible, how bizzare;

        Hide your ugly feelings.

Oh, but that smile is not quite right.

When you smile, hold your hand here-- like so;

        Hide your ugly smile.

Now that I see it, your arms are rather hideous.

Pull on a larger sweater;

        Hide those ugly arms.

Thinking a little more, your legs are rather ça-va-mal.

Wouldn't do to wear shorts or skirts anymore, have these instead;

        Hide those ugly legs.

Hide, they whispered.

Hide, they said.

Hide, they screamed.

Hide, they cried.

You never know what monsters out there

Will stare and point and laugh.
