about

This is the first children's song I ever write that didn’t contain any profanity.

two different stories behind this song

Story number one.

I played a songwriters in the round coffee shop gig once where this guy had to set up his mic stand, a big fancy microphone, and an amplifier. This coffee shop was about the size of a one-car garage. We told him he didn’t need a PA, in fact there wasn't room for it. He told us he wasn’t planning on plugging it in, but he felt naked without it and needed it to be able to play.

On the way home my wife and I were talking about the gig. “What did you think about the show?"
"I thought it went well"
"What about that guy who brought his PA?”.
“Good songwriter. He seemed like a good guy. Kind of strange though. I don’t think he’s dangerous or anything, he’s just a little bit weird.”

Story number two.

I had a friend who was an ex-felon, He was a really, really good guy. He just like to rob banks when he was younger. He wasn't that good of a bank robber, he ended up in Leavenworth Federal Penitentiary. He did his time, got out of prison, and turned his life around, and then proceeded to help others turn their lives around. He once claimed to have the perfect job. “I ride around all day in an air-conditioned pick-up truck, drinking coffee. Every once in a while I have to stop the truck, get out, and shovel a flat dog off the highway, then I get back in my truck and I drive around and drink some more coffee. I'm getting paid AND I'm getting government benefits. You just can’t beat a job like that”

lyrics

I know a guy, he’s a little bit weird,
He’s got him a goldfish that lives in his beard,
Along with a hamster that quotes Shakespeare,
He's not a bad guy, He’s just kind of weird

He's not a bad guy, but he’s kinda strange,
He lives with a monkey who’s criminally insane
They ride on a buffalo singing Home on the Range,
No he's not a bad guy, but he's kind of strange

He isn’t dangerous, he just likes to pretend,
He could be Elvis or the King of Siam,
Fighting off monsters saving Princess Diane,
Yes He’s a bit different, but he’s still my friend

He's not a bad guy, he’s just kind of odd,
picking up roadkill, that is his job
He’s got a flat puppy, he named him Bob,
He's not a bad guy, He's just kind of odd

He's not a bad guy, he’s just bizarre,
He likes to take a shower out in his car
He keeps all his troubles sealed up in a jar,
He's not a bad guy, he’s just a little bizarre

He isn’t dangerous, he just likes to pretend,
He could be Elvis or the King of Siam,
Flying in a Spaceship with Princess Diane,
He’s a little bit different, but he’s still my friend

Yes he’s a little bit different, but he’s still my friend,
And we get together, whenever we can
We'll laugh and we’ll cut up and eat space worms again,
Just Me, Him, and Elvis, and the King of Siam
Just Me, Him, and Elvis, and Princess Diane
