Mariam pulls my hair Makes me cry at lunch Mom says she wants to be my friend But I think she hates my guts Mariam chases me Kicks me in the teeth What did I ever do to her and How did she get so mean? Miriam ditches school That's the third all week Maybe she's tired of pulling my hair And kicking me in the teeth Mariam comes to class With a big fat bruise Kids say she got in another fight But Mariam never loses Maybe she's not so mean Maybe she's not so mean Mariam rides the bus That's the first all week All of the seats are taken So I let her sit by me
