HOT BRANDS
MUSICAL INTRODUCTION
Now, if you like to wear the hot brands, this is not meant as a put-down for you;
But if your self-worth is tied up in 'em, we hope you'll listen to a different point of view!

(1)
I don't need Nike's to feel good about myself,
don't need B. K.'s to know I'm really special.
I can wear any ol' brand, or even second-hand
and hold my head up high and smile at everyone! DO-do-DO-do-DO.
(2)
I don't need L. A. Gear's to feel good about myself,
don't need Guess to know I'm really special.
I like myself and who I am;
don't need a label to prove anything to anyone! DO-do-DO-do-DO.
(3)
I don't need Levi's to feel good about myself,
don't need Jordan's to know I'm really special.
It's really sad some people seem to think their worth
can be rung up on a cash register. But not me! DO-do-DO-do-DO.
(4)
I don't need Reebok's to feel good about myself,
don't need Gitano to know I'm really special.
I've got better things to do with the money I've got
than to pay a bundle extra for a tiny little label. DO-do-DO-do-DO.
(5)
I don't need Biker's to feel good about myself,
don't need Jordache to know I'm really special.
People who do put-downs often have been put down,
And then make fun of what other people wear!
Don't they know you can't judge a book by its cover,
or a person by the clothes they wear?
I think I understand why they do the put-downs anyway;
'Cause maybe they don't feel good enough about themselves to say...
(6)
I don't need Nike's to feel good about myself,
don't need B. K.'s to know I'm really special.
I can wear any ol' brand, or even second-hand
and hold my head up high and smile at everyone!

(SPOKEN: Now you've got a chance to put whatever brands you choose in the blank spaces left for you on these next two verses!)
PLEASE NOTE: The brand names could simply be replaced by the phrase “hot brands”
