There was a boy who was born
Almost a hundred years ago
He was a rascal don’t you know
Had to use a leash or he would go

He liked to tail his brother
That’s where all the action was
He used to run to school and back
Faster than the bus just because

He was captain of the football team
Helped his mother when the times were lean
Always looked out for the younger ones
Made sure everyone was having fun

He used to ride in the produce truck
Down to the city just to help them out
They let him smoke and run amuck
Always on the run there was no doubt

Worked at a farm picking goods to sell
Switched him out cause he ate too much
He figured out why the chickens fell
Doubled the yield guess he had the touch

He was captain of the football team
Helped his mother when the times were lean
Always looked out for the younger ones
Made sure everyone was having fun

Worked at the garage fixing cars
Took a steady job at the wallboard yard
Found a girl to get married to
Gave him four kids and a lot to do

He would whistle when his day was done
Always felt like he was having fun
Bought an old house to fix up nice
Did it all himself to control the price

He was captain of the football team
Helped his mother when the times were lean
Always looked out for the younger ones
Made sure everyone was having fun

Kids grew fast leaving home quite young
He grew gardens just to have some fun
Some kids returned bringing friends along
All were welcomed as their love was strong

They had feasts in the old back yard
Watched the grandkids as they played so hard
Helped to raise them with their gift of love
Left his wisdom then he rose above

He was captain of the football team
Helped his mother when the times were lean
Always looked out for the younger ones
Made sure everyone was having fun
