WEEPY

(Bruce Phillips)



Why is everybody laughin'?

Weepy doesn' know

He jus' stan's there grinnin'

I guess he's kinda' slow

But Weepy don' get sore

Seems like he asks for more

Look at all them broken dishes

On the floor.



Weepy don' do nuthin'

There's nuthin' he can do

Sometimes he takes all mornin'

Jus' t' find his other shoe

An' hey goddammit, Sid

Lay off the poor dumb kid

C'mon Weep, I'll show ya'

Where it's hid.



He's so damned good natured

Jus' laughs an' takes his lumps

You never see him angry

'cept when he's croakin' gumps*

But that's no big surprise

It's right there in his eyes

Looks like Weepy's found him

Sumthin' more his size.



Jus' like all these dishes

There's sumthin' in him broke

Don't guess we mean to hurt him

When we play our little joke

But the social workers say

He may have to go away

You ask him

I'll bet he'd like to stay.
