The New Kid

There once was a kid who moved to the block
From down around the bend
He was a lonely new kid
And the new kid needed a friend

One day a boy on a bike rode by
The new kid waved and shouted, "Hi!
Hi! I'm the new kid
Would you be my friend?"

But...the boy on the bike said, "No indeed!
I've got all the friends I need!
However...I know a girl in gold
Who's very friendly, I'm told!"

So, off they set
On a little hike
The new kid
And the boy on thе bike
To find a friend for the nеw kid
'Cause the new kid needed a friend!

When they came to the girl in gold
The new kid tried to be very bold
"Hi! I'm the new kid
Would you be my friend?"

But...the girl in gold said "Eeww, eeww!
I hate boys and that means you!"
And the boy on the bike said, "No indeed!
I've got all the friends I need!"
"However...I know a tiny tyke
You would be someone she'd like"

So, the girl in gold
And the boy on the bike
And the new kid
All set off on a hike
To find a friend for the new kid
'Cause the new kid needed a friend!

They found the tyke sitting in her crib
Dribbling Gerbers down her bib
"Hi! I'm the new kid
Would you be my friend?"

But...the tiny tyke said, "Waa, waa!
Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa, waa!"
And the girl in gold said "Eeww, eeww!
I hate boys and that means you!"
And the boy on the bike said, "No indeed!
I've got all the friends I need!"
"Waa, waa, waa...
I know a dopey dog
He'd make friends with a log!"

So the tiny tyke
And the girl in gold
And the boy on the bike
And the new kid
All set off on a hike
To find a friend for the new kid
'Cause the new kid needed a friend!

They found the dog that's not too hard
He was burying bones in a neighbor's yard
"Hi! I'm the new kid
Would you be my friend?"

But...the dopey dog said, "Ruff, ruff!
Rauaaughf, ruf! ruf! ruf!"
And the tiny tyke said, "Waa, waa!
Waa, waa, waa, waa, waa, waa!"
And the girl in gold said "Eeww, eeww!
I hate boys and that means you!"
And the boy on the bike said, "No indeed!
I've got all the friends I need!"

And so, the new kid hung his head
And barely sadly said
"If I can't make friends with a friendly pup
I might as well give up!"

Weeks went by, but his birthday came
And he still didn't have a friend to his name...

When school was over
Home he trunched
As he started to cry
But his face got scrunched
He opened the door...
And he rubbed his eyes...
And he heard a roar...
"SURPRISE!"

"Happy birthday, new kid
From all your very new friends!"
From the dopey dog
And the tiny tyke
And the girl in gold
And the boy on the bike
"Now, every one of them was his friend!"
Things take time...
The end!
