Too Cool for School

I'm much too cool for school today.
My pants are creased and cuffed,
my shirt is made of satin,
and my shoes are shined and buffed.

I'm much too cool for school today.
I'd put my friends to shame.
I checked inside my underwear -
the tags are all brand name.

I'm sporting cool designer frames
and looking like a dude.
If I showed up in all this bling,
it really would be rude.

Perhaps I'll go tomorrow when
my hair's not moussed and gelled.
I'm much too cool for school today.
Besides, I've been expelled.
