[Intro]
E
[Verse 1]
E A E
Ramona lived just down the hill from us
E B7
She kept the house, her mother drove the bus (an old yellow school bus)
A E
Ramona had a handicap the neighborhood knew well
E B7 E
Ramona couldn't speak or couldn't spell
E
(Which put Ramona at a considerable disadvantage among the more fluent)
[Verse 2]
E A E
Although she couldn't write and couldn't talk
E B7
Ramona really had a pretty walk (a four-letter figure)
A E
Because she couldn't write or speak, nobody asked her out
E B7 E
But Bad Eye Thompson hung around the house
E
(He was what you might say a familiar figure in the neighborhood)
[Verse 3]
E A E
I guess their handicaps were common ground
E B7
For Bad Eye Thompson always hung around
A E
He could squint that eye and spit tobacco thirty feet
E B7 E
Ramona always grinned and stomped her feet
E
(Because Ramona considered that to be one of the better local acts)
[Verse 4]
E A E
One day, Ramona found herself a child
E B7
She couldn't speak, her mom was going wild
A E
Confusion reigned for half a day, as one could understand
E B7 E
The county judge came down to take a hand
E
(And I think it should be noted here, in the interest of justice
E
that the judge was acting in a strictly unofficial capacity)
[Verse 5]
E A E
The neighbors gathered 'round Ramona's porch
E B7
The judge said, "Understand this is not a court".
A E
Ramona stood as all the breathless neighbors gathered 'round
N.C.
Then, she closed one eye and [*pbt*] spat upon the ground
E
(And it's a familiar old saying that "birds of a feather will flock together"
E
And justice will be done, that's right)
