Now believe me when I tell you that my song is really true
|
I want everyone to listen and believe
|
It's about some little people from a long time ago
|
And all the things the neighbors didn't know
|
Early in the morning Daddy Dinky went to work
|
Selling lamps & chairs to San Ber'dino squares
|
And I still remember Mama with her apron & her pad
|
Feeding all the boys at Ed's Cafe!
|
|
Whizzing & pasting & pooting through the day . . .
|
(Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away!)
|
And all the while on a shelf in the shed:
|
KENNY'S LITTLE CREATURES ON DISPLAY!
|
|
Ronnie saves his numies on a window in his room
|
(A marvel to be seen: dysentery green)
|
While Kenny & his buddies had a game out in the back:
|
LET'S MAKE THE WATER TURN BLACK
|
|
We see them after school in a world of their own
|
(To some it might seem creepy what they do . . . )
|
The neighbors on the right sat & watched them every night
|
(I bet you'd do the same if they was you)
|
|
Whizzing & pasting & pooting through the day . . .
|
(Ronnie helping Kenny helping burn his poots away!)
|
And all the while on a shelf in the shed:
|
KENNY'S LITTLE CREATURES ON DISPLAY!
|
|
Ronnie's in the Army now & Kenny's taking pills
|
Oh! How they yearn to see a bomber burn!
|
Color flashing, thunder crashing, dynamite machine!
|
(Wait till the fire turns green . . . wait till the fire turns green)
|
WAIT TILL THE FIRE TURNS GREEN!
|
|
This would be a little bit of vocal teen-age heaven, right here on Earth!
