I heard this song sung by a local performer but i am unable to find the lyrics or melody. Could someone help, please? A video would be also great.

Do you mean Norman Wisdom's theme song "Don't Laugh At Me 'Cos I'm A Fool"?

or this one. ......
I'm a little boy with glasses The one they call the geek
A little girl who never smiles
'Cause I've got braces on my teeth And I know how it feels To cry myself to sleep
I'm that kid on every playground
Who's always chosen last
A single teenage mother Tryin' to overcome my past
You don't have to be my friend But is it too much to ask

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm the cripple on the corner You've passed me on the street And I wouldn't be out here beggin'
If I had enough to eat
And don't think I don't notice That our eyes never meet

I lost my wife and little boy when Someone crossed that yellow line
The day we laid them in the ground Is the day I lost my mind
And right now I'm down to holdin'
This little cardboard sign, so

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

I'm fat, I'm thin, I'm short, I'm tall
I'm deaf, I'm blind, hey, aren't we all

Don't laugh at me
Don't call me names Don't get your pleasure from my pain
In God's eyes we're all the same Someday we'll all have perfect wings
Don't laugh at me

Probably the one Georgiansilver posted, but just for completeness, here's the other one.

Don't Laugh At Me
June Tremayne; Norman Wisdom

I'm not good-looking, I'm not too smart
I may be foolish but I've got a heart
I love the flowers, I love the sun
But when I try to love the girls
They laugh at me and run

Don't laugh at me 'cause I'm a fool
I know it's true, yes I'm a fool
No-one seems to care
I'd give the world to share
My life with someone
Who really loves me
I see them all falling in love
But my lucky star hides up above
Someday, maybe, my star will smile on me
Don't laugh at me 'cause I'm a fool

Thanks for the different versions, everyone. I had in mind Georgiansilver's version. For ONCE in my mudcat career I didn't check out youtube!
