Hunchback Ray Lyrics

There was a hunchback in our town

A gentle, decent seeming soul

But kids, in fear, would throw rocks at him

Yet Ray would never lose control

One day Jan and Pete, the worst of the kids,

Ran past Ray letting insults fly.

They dashed into the woods and soon he heard them screaming

He knew his time had arrived.

Hunchback Ray, Hunchback Ray,

He longed to be

The hero of his own play

Hunchback Ray

When he got there Pete and Jan

Were clinging to an old collapsing, covered well

He took them each by the hand

And threw them straight to hell.

Hunchback Ray, Hunchback Ray,

He longed to be

The hero of his own play

Hunchback Ray

He listened for their final thud

And then he walked away

And no one ever forgot

The name of Hunchback Ray.

You didn't see that one coming, right?

The way the story swerved?

Did they drive him mad, or was he just bad?

Either way, they got what they deserved.

Hunchback Ray, Hunchback Ray,

He longed to be

The hero of his own play

Hunchback Ray

The moral of the story is...

Well, I can't rightly say

Maybe do unto others

But sure don't mess with Hunchback Ray.
