Lyrics
Little Ricky Massenburg
Nose broke back in third
Oh sure! He gets in the last word
School bell rings recess is on
Ricky soon gets pounced upon
By the St. Johns School Team
Every day he toughens up
Goes to school a frightened pup
Confronted, never backs down
Inspector spies the fool again
In trouble since school began
Classroom is a corner
Recess is a round
Ricky Massenburg is black and blue
He wears a mask no one can see through
Beneath his shirt a pumping heart
An alley cat with ears that smart
From oral blows and active I.O.U’s
Waiting in the hall again
Feeling two feet small again
They summon his dad to St. Johns
They drive out to their fishing hole
A dad searches his aching soul
They hug – then both fall apart
Ricky Massenburg is black and blue
He wears a mask no one can see through
Beneath his shirt a pumping heart
An alley cat with ears that smart
From oral blows and active I.O.U’s
Little Ricky Massenburg
Broke his nose back in third
