You wear black skinny jeans,
You'll probably be in college at fourteen.
There's a big leaf on your tie-dye shirt,
I assume you date nice girls that wear flowery skirts?
I've seen your hat in the sketchy store at the mall. . .
No, it isn't surprising that you'll be on the field come fall.
Your skateboard says you know how to do this Algebra problem
And those ratty shoes tell me you buy presents for all your family members, every single one of them.
You cuss like a sailor but that makes her parents absolutely love you.
Your pierced ears send the message that you’re approachable, too. 
See, the style you have might not be the same as mine.
But what I see shouldn’t change what I say in the end.
So here I am waiving hello hoping you’ll be my new friend.
