Lyrics
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
The girls stare when he goes by
The boys won’t look him in the eye
I wonder if he really did
All the things I heard about the Legend of the Pom Pom Kid
I went up to the kid today and 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
