The Boy in My Class (4K) – In Kinetic Typography
The Boy in My Class is a song about what you do when you want to make it clear to a friend of yours that there is something called your space… Is there a nice way to talk to a difficult person? Play this song and find out!
Sam was a boy in my class
who sat right next to me
not the best of pals we really were
eye to eye we could never see
He’d push my bag and
spread on my space
He’d punch me hard if I
nudged him away.
I went home in a huff one day
And told Grandpa all I had to take
“I’ll tell you something that I learnt from my life”
Grandpa said as he sat by my side
“When trouble troubles you just try
to see trouble in the eye.
The worse thing that you can do boy
is to run away or let yourself cry
So go and give Sam a pat in the back
tell him how you’d like to be his pal.
But he has to know there is a line
A ‘his’ side and a ‘your’ side.
If you are firm but friendly
I’m sure he’ll understand
and might even end up to being your friend.”
I did as he said and was surprised
It worked for me and works all the time
When trouble troubles you just try
go see trouble in the eye.
When trouble troubles you just try
to see trouble in the eye.
