Maybe you knew someone like this in 8th or 9th grade: a kinda likeable kid who made strange sounds, but was both weird and funny. Tommy Bosco was that kid for me, and this song is about a kid like him. But, I found in my HS yearbook that another kid--really a great, smart guy--signed his name as "The Gunky"--why, I have no idea! But that strange moniker always stuck with me, and I combined that name with the memory of that strange little weird guy.
=======================
The Gunky

If you see me comin' you skidaddle;
You go flying up a creek without a paddle;
'Cause my daily itch is to make you sick--
And if you hang around, I can do my schtick.

I know when I show up you wanna scatter;
Tell the truth it really doesn't matter;
You folks just wish I'da disappeared;
But I'm not nasty, just really weird!

Crazy like a dodo but sweet like a donkey;
Look like a hobo and I smell kinda funky;
Grin like a troll and cackle like a monkey;
I'm The Gunky...The Gunky!

The only time you want me near is 'never';
But I know you think I really kinda clever;
Things I do make you wanna smile;
You find my creepy but you dig my style.

Wacky to the knees and wired as a junky;
Kooky as a banshee, but smarter than a flunky;
You want me as a friend, but you find me kinda skunky;
I'm The Gunky...The Gunky!
