I looked in the mirror what did I see
[G]A nine stone weakling with [Am]knobbly knees
I did my knees bend press ups touch my toes
I [G]had another sneeze and I blew [Am]my nose
I looked in the mirror at my pigeon chest
I had [G]to put on my clothes because
it [Am]made me depressed
[F]Surely there must [C]be a way
