I just want to wear a nice dress to school
Now what is the problem with that?
Girls are allowed to wear pants every day,
And all kinds of kid wear a hat.

But adults have this thing about dresses.
Boys can’t wear them,  is what I’ve been told.
Who makes up these rules for who can do what?
What happens when people get old?

What is the reason that grown-ups are scared
When kids do not all act the same?
Could they be afraid of losing control?
Is order the name of the game?

I just want to wear a nice dress to school.
Chill out, I like to look dressy.
And people, a dress is not a big deal.
It’s the rest of life that is messy.
