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
