4
Rough him up and shove him down make him cry when he comes around
5
Treat him any way you want after all he's just runt just a little runt
6
Runt is what they called him but his name was Buddy Grey
7
He lived out on Maple Street bout a mile away
8
Hand-me-downs were all he wore poverty and nothing more
9
Always someone laying for the runt
10
They catch him in the school year when he came out to play
11
Then get him in a circle where he couldn't get away
12
They'd shove him here and they'd shove him there
13
If he fell down nobody cared
14
Just anything to keep him scared the runt
15
Then one day walking home from school the teasing went just too far
16
They chased the runt out in the street nobody saw the car
17
They only heard that awful sound they saw the broken body on the ground
18
Then everybody gathered around the runt
19
They buried him on Sunday his classmates all were there
20
And the tears filled each and every eye when runt's mother said a prayer
21
Lord even though you've taken him I think I understand
22
He's finished the job you've sent him for and done it like you planned
23
If you made all people to look the same it just wouldn't be right I guess
24
So you put a few now and then like my little runt to bring others' happiness
25
His shortness makes others feel tall his weakness makes others feel strong
26
His features make others feel pretty and handsome
27
And his sadness brings others a song
28
So rough him up and shove him down make him cry when he comes around
29
Treat him any way you want but thank God for the runt
30
Yes thank you God for my little runt
