A wild, wacky, outrageous ride from the opening Pete Townshend-like power chord to the final declaration that "Richard shouldn't play with dead things!," this song rocks!
Pounding drums, powerful guitar strums and riffs, and hysterical singing makes this song a one-of-a-kind classic.
The lyrics tell the story of a lonely boy who gets bullied in high school who plays with dead worms and squirrels until growing up to become a mortician to play with ...
Quirky, odd, and fun with serious social undertones.
Don't miss this one!
[Chorus]
Richard shouldn't play with dead things
Richard shouldn't play with dead things
Richard shouldn't play with dead things
Richard shouldn't play with dead things
[Verse 1]
When he was a boy he spent his time alone
No brothers or sisters filled his empty home
He happened to be the only kid on his block
So he kept company with twigs and shiny rocks
[Pre-chorus]
But one day he found a worm burned dead by the sun
He picked it up and twirled it 'round and had a ton of fun
And his parents would pout and silently shout
[Chorus]
[Verse 2]
He’d board a yellow bus and go to high school
And the jocks and the dorks would say he wasn't cool
He couldn't keep steep with the marching band
In gym class he couldn't hold a headstand
[Pre-chorus]
And another day passed ignored by the girls
So in science class he danced with dead squirrels
And his teacher would grumble and silently mumble
[Chorus]
[Bridge]
Someday I'm gonna be someone
I'm gonna be the center of everyone's fun
No one's gonna talk behind my head
I know what's alive and I know what's dead
[Pre-chorus]
Nowadays he's done with worms and squirrels
He keeps his morgue filled with beautiful girls
And they look at him and pout and loudly shout
[Chorus]
