Lời & hợp âm

[Intro 1]
[D]

[Verse 1]
[D]Ramona lived just [G]down the hill from [D]us.
She kept the house ger mother drove
the [A]bus. (an old yellow school bus)
[G]Ramona had a handicap the
[D]neighborhood knew well.
Ramona couldn't [A]speak or couldn't [D]spell.
(and that left Ramona at a

[Verse 2]
Considerable [D]disadvantage among
the more fluent)
Although she couldn't write
[G]or couldn't tal[D]k,
Ramona really had a pretty [A]walk.
(a four letter fig[G]ure)
Because she couldn't write
or speak [D]nobody asked her out.

[Verse 3]
But [D]"bad- [A]eye" Thompson hung around the
house[D]. (he was what you'd call a
Familiar figure in the neighborhood)
Well I guess their handi[G]caps
were common [D]ground.
'Cause "bad- eye" Thompson
always hung around.
[A]

[Verse 4]
[G]He could squint that eye and spit
to[D]bacco thirty feet.
Ramona always [A]grinned and stomped [D]her
feat.(because,to Ramona this was one of
The finer things in life)
One day Ramona [G]found
herself with child.
[D]

[Verse 5]
She couldn't speak. Her mom
was going [A]wild.
Confu[G]sion reigned for half a day
as [D]one could understand.
The county judge came [A]down to lend a
[D]hand. (and I think it should be noted in
The interest of justice that the judge was acting

[Verse 6]
in a strictly unofficial Capacity)
[D]The neighbors gathered [G]'round
Ramona's [D]porch.
The judge said, "Understand,
this is not a [A]court".
Ra[G]mona squealed as all the breathless
[D]neighbors gathered 'round......
Then closed one eye and (puh- tui) spat
[A]upon the [D]ground.
[A][D]

[Verse 7]
(And it's a familiar old phrase that "birds
of a feather will flock together".

[Outro 1]
And justice will be done)
[D]
