The Legend of the Pom Pom Kid

There’s a new kid in the yard today
I saw him with Miss Hathaway
Looked jumpy was a nervous cat
And sitting on his head was a pom pom hat
Don’t you ever touch his hat or
Quick as you can blink you’ll be on your back
He’s studied in Karate they said
Don’t mix it, mix it with the pom pom kid

Don’t mess up with the Pom Pom Kid
Like Bobby Boy Loranco did
Bobby Boy can hold his own
But the kid’s got a mean streak hard as stone
I heard he learned to fight in jail
When his momma wouldn’t pony up with the bail
The cops couldn’t make it stick
Don’t mix it, mix it with the Pom Pom Kid

I heard his parents died in a crash
When the plane they were flying simply ran out of gas
Funny how the last thing they did
Was mix it with the Pom Pom Kid
The kid’s got a rep don’t you know
And a list of arrests as long as your arm
But no convictions they said
Don’t mix it, mix it with the Pom Pom Kid
[CHORUS]
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
The girls stare when he goes by
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
The boys won’t look him in the eye
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
I wonder if he really did
Ooh ooh ooh ooh
All the things I heard about the Legend of the Pom Pom Kid

I went up to the kid today
Asked him if he could explain
Why he got such a bad rap
& why he’s always wearing that pom pom hat
It was all lies don’t you know
‘Cept his parents really died and the pain did show
Like the scar on his head
From the crash that created the Legend of the Pom Pom Kid
