"I met him at the candy store": more dumb songs I like

 Is she really going out with him?

Well, there she is, let's ask her

Betty, is that Jimmy's ring you're wearing? Mhmm.

Gee, it must be great riding with him

Is he picking you up after school today? Uh uh.

By the way, where'd you meet him?

I met him at the candy store

He turned around and smiled at me

You get the picture? (Yes, we see)

That's when I fell for the leader of the pack

My folks were always putting him down

(Down, down)

They said, he came from the wrong side of town

(What you mean when you say that he came

From the wrong side of town?)

They told me he was bad, but I knew he was sad

That's why I fell for the leader of the pack

One day my dad said, "Find someone new"

I had to tell my Jimmy, we're through

(What you mean when you say that

You better go find somebody new?)

He stood there and asked me why, all I could do was cry

I'm sorry I hurt you, the leader of the pack

He sort of smiled and kissed me good-bye

The tears were beginnin' to show

As he drove away on that rainy night

I begged him to go slow

But whether he heard, I'll never know

(Look out, look out!

Look out, look out!)

I felt so helpless, what could I do?

Rememberin' all the things we'd been through

At school they all stop and stare

I can't hide the tears but I don't care

I'll never forget him, the leader of the pack

(Gone, gone, gone, gone)

The leader of the pack, now he's gone

(Gone)

The leader of the pack, now he's gone

(Gone, gone, gone, gone)

The leader of the pack, now he's gone

(Gone)

The leader of the pack.

"A car full of kids and snow cones": really dumb songs I like

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

And you can see him every weekend

With a car full of kids and snow cones

And the people cross town don't know his name

But on Franklin Pike Circle, he's king

1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

Well, at five thirty-five at

The corner of Franklin and Warner

A blue station wagon comes

Sliding around the corner

And on down Franklin Pike Circle

All you're seeing is a streak of blue

And pulls in the drive at the address of 1432

And he says, my head aches and my back hurts

And I don't feel like talking

Don't wan go the show to see Doctor Zhivago

Don't wanna take the dog out walking

I wanna sit right here in this easy chair

It's been a jungle all day, you know

The 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero is home

He was out pitching ball with the

Kids in the neighborhood yesterday

And the old major leaguer had to quit

'Cause he said he threw his arm away

And the kids all hid behind the hedge

And laughed at him but wouldn't let it show

Because they love him so,

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

And you can see him every weekend

With a car full of kids and snow cones

And, you know people cross town

Don't know his name

But on Franklin Pike Circle, he's king

1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

Well, he won a little pony at the

Hill High auction just the other day

And he didn't mean to do it

And he wanted to give the pony away

When they called out his name

He tried not to claim it

But the kids started crying

'Cause they'd already named it

And who's up every Saturday morning

Saddling his new toy, you guessed it

The 1432 Franklin Pike Circle cowboy

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

And you can see him every weekend

With a car full of kids and snow cones

During Christmas, took the kids

Down to see the floats

When he wanted to stay home

And watch the Baltimore Colts

1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero

Well, the ten-thirty news usually

Finds our hero is a sleepy head

And Peter's out somewhere wrecking the car

And the rest of the kids have gone to bed

So she takes his hand

They climb the stairs and he falls asleep

And she bends over him so tenderly

To kiss his cheek

'Cause she loves him so

And she's lucky, you know

To be married to the 1432

1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

And you can see him every weekend

With a car full of kids and snow cones

Christmas time, he took

'Em down to see the floats

When he wanted to stay home

And watch the Baltimore Colts

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero
