Story Behind the Song
Why do girls always get the best clothes? A gay man wonders as he reminisces about the sibling rivalry between his sister and he.
Lyrics
When I was a girl
Of seven or eight
My ten-year-old sister was God
She got her ears pierced
and could stay up real late
My bedtime was seven o'clock
She had this sweater, mom bought it brand new
It was green with a big smiley face
By the time she outgrew it
And I got to use it
I felt out of style and place
It's just a hand me down world
Bell bottoms two years too late
I got the Jan Brady collar in '80
When it went out in '78!
Waiting in line for front row seats
Always got me the back mezzanine
Hand me down sweater
It never got better
It's always a Hand Me Down, Patrice
Lost in the shadow of my sister's frame
She's the one with the looks
A Pepsodent smile and a Clearasil face
I hid mine in Harlequin books
She was the good girl and got all the luck
And I got the time she didn't use
And me down sister
Nobody's kissed her
I'm just hand me down, Patrice
Buried beneath the clothes she didn't need
Kneesocks are very passe!
When I was girl of thirteen or more
My sister would kiss and never tell
I begged her to fill me in on her dates
Was he heaven or was hell?
Next day I'd hear all the gory details
From the kids in my homeroom
Hand me down news
Hand me down blues
I'm just hand me down, Patrice.
