1
Back in Brooklyn when I was ten
2
As if to prove that we were men
3
My friends and I would trash each others families
4
We were morons, I know that now
5
I let them call my mom a cow
6
And somehow that measured my virility
7
But one day they threw a curve
8
They struck a wrong nerve
9
And found the shameful secret I had kept
10
But I took it like a man
11
I stood my stand
12
And then I wept
13
Cuz when your father looks like Moe
14
You know, the guy from the Three Stooges
15
Life can be so cruel
16
At school, I was a sitting duck
17
Behind my back I heard "Nuck nuck"
18
ANd if that wasn't bad enough
19
Sometimes they bopped my nose
20
To look at me you might believe
21
More likely, my father looked like Curly
22
But no, he looked like Moe
23
La la la la
24
La la la
25
La la la
26
La la
27
I asked my father straight out one day
28
Why he chose to look that way
29
His shiny, jet black hair cut like an Eskimo
30
And though I'd hoped his reply might be
31
Some father-son philosophy
32
All he said to me was "Who the heck is Moe?"
33
But I said, "Dad, it's me they tease."
34
"I'm beggin' you, please...
35
Could you wear your hair more 'normally'?"
36
And we stood there eye-to-eye, guy-to-guy
37
And he said, "Coitenly!"
38
Cuz when your father looks like Moe
39
You know, the guy from the Three Stooges
40
Life can be so cruel
41
But he marched off to the barber chair
42
He kept his word, he cut his hair
43
And you would think that then and there
44
I'd have been content
45
But damn if that was not the year
46
They signed up a replacement in the line-up
47
So it went---my father looked like Shemp
48
La la la la
49
La la la
50
La la la
51
La la
