I'll Be Your Hunchback Pal

This is a parody of Paul Simon's "You Can Call Me Al"

A man limps down the street
He says why am I hunched in the shoulders now
Why am I hunched in the shoulders
What's with this lazy eye
What am I supposed to be?
I need some new occupation
Headaches in the bell tower
Throbbing echoes of the sound
Bellringer Bellringer
Climbing Quasimodo-like
Far above the cold stone floor
Mr. Bellringer Bellringer
Get these bats away from me
You know I don't find this stuff amusing anymore
If you'll be my scientist
I can be your hunchback pal
I can call you doctor
And doctor when you call me
You can call me Ralph

A man walks down the street
Mumbles where the hell's my plutonium
Got a big package of plutonium
Mixed with my potions and contraptions
Where've all my hunchbacks gone
What's dewey decimal
Who's going to help me out
Now that my helpers have
Gone Gone
He left his secret lab-ro-tory
His master work and apparatus
All alone alone
With his implements and experiments
No time left to find or organize

If you'll be my scientist
I can be your hunchback pal
I can call you doctor
And doctor when you call me
You can call me Ralph
Call me Ralph

Two men walk down the street
One in a wrinkled lab coat
One in a burlap shirt
One breaks the silence with a sound
You need a place to fit in
I need a helping hand
It'll mean long hours
This ain't no union job
Job job
Body parts and toxic waste
Graveyards and asylums
Haul'n brains around around
Monsters on the cutting board
Hideous assembly
He say's "Why not?  I'll give this gig a try!"

If you'll be my scientist
I can be your hunchback pal
I can call you doctor
And doctor when you call me
You can call me Ralph
Call me Ralph
