Ziggy was named By his rock and roll dad His Mama ran off right away. Ziggy grew up Almost on his own Dad didn’t care what he’d say. A lady next door Took pity on Zig and his dad And sometimes cooked them a meal. All Ziggy knew Was this was home life The stuff on TV wasn’t real.
Ziggy, you’re really a half decent guy If only you’d look with your heart. Sometimes you have to say no if you’re asked. Sometimes you can’t let things start.
Ziggy, don’t run around with those girls They aren’t a good kind of crowd They only want you for money and drugs They’re ****** and awfully loud. Ziggy don’t go play cards with those guys They’ll take you for all that you’ve got. I know you think they are all your good friends. But, I assure you they’re not.
Ziggy, the world can get to be big Well before you can cope. There are uncaring people all over the place Ready with sweet words and dope. Ziggy, the people who only like you When you are not flat broke Those kinds aren’t worth your concern Not worth a dime from your poke.
Ziggy, you’re really a half decent guy If only you’d look with your heart. Sometimes you have to say no if you’re asked. Sometimes you can’t let things start.
