Halloween
Halloween was my favorite holiday as a kidI got to dress up like all the people that I wanted to beI was a pirate one year, and my big sister was a princessWe were poor, so next year we switchedJust kiddingThen I was Paladin, he was played on TV by Richard BooneI got my costume at the Walgreens in a cardboard boxIt was a one-piece suit with a pistol and a holster drawn in glitterFor a dollar ninety-eight you had to use your imaginationI had a crush on Amy Auerbach and Suzie Gomberg in the second gradeThe most popular girls in school, I didn't have a chance with themBig feet, crooked teeth, and two-tone glassesI had a built-in costume for Halloween every day in second gradeEnd of October, my big revelry had rolled around fastAnd Doctor Kildaire was a popular show in TV that yearSo my mother bought a little doctor's shirt and I decided that I'd wear it to schoolI'd be Ben Casey 'cause he's the one who had the dark hairWhen I showed up at school that day the girls were gigglingAnd I couldn't figure out what for til I saw Amy AuerbachShe was all dressed up like a nurse, and me like a doctorWe were instantly romantically linked and everyone was titteringLetras de cancionesI was embarrassed, I wanted to run outside a dig a big holeAnd jump to China, or even further if I possibly couldThen Amy smiledI think it was at Joey RomanelliSo I tossed that doctor's shirtTraded it in for a capeNext year I began my career asThe Man of Steel
