Illiteracy!
Hush ! hush ! close call, I still keep my dignity.
Can you tell me what it is, I forgot my glasses so,
It's hard to see, just tell me. Ooh! close call, gee

It came so fast , I almost lost what was most
important to me. My dignity is high value.
Don't want that taken away. There's no other way,
My face must stay. I kept it close today, Ooh!
It's OK , I don't have anywhere to go. My pride is golden.
Don't you have pride in you?
