Rough him up and shove him downMake him cry when he comes 'roundTreat him any way you wantAfter all he's just runt, just a little runtRunt is what they called himBut his name was Buddy GreyHe lived out on Maple Street'Bout a mile awayHand-me-downs were all he worePoverty and nothing moreAlways someone laying for ? the runtThey catch him in the school year When he came out to playThen get him in a circleWhere he couldn't get awayThey'd shove him here And they'd shove him thereIf he fell down, nobody caredJust anything to keep him scared - the runtThen one day walking home from schoolThe teasing went just too farLetras de cancionesThey chased the runt out in the streetNobody saw the carThey only heard that awful soundThey saw the broken body on the groundThen everybody gathered around - the runtThey buried him on SundayHis classmates all were thereAnd the tears filled each every eyeWhen runt's mother said a prayerLord, even though you've taken himI think I understandHe's finished the job you've sent him forAnd done it like you plannedIf you made all people to look the sameIt just wouldn't be right I guessSo you put a few now and then, like my runtTo bring others' happinessHis shortness makes others feel tallHis weakness makes others feel strongHis features make others feel pretty and handsomeAnd his sadness brings others a songSo rough him up and shove him downMake him cry when he comes 'roundTreat him any way you wantBut thank God for the runtYes, thank God for my little runt From Letras Mania
