Old Mr. Mackle Hackle

Expressing the Inner Twerp

As a boy, I hated those who seemed to enjoy teasing and always got their way. But I was also envious. They seemed so sure of themselves, they lived without apparent guilt, they were powerful.

Although I lacked the poise and malice of the true Twerp, I had my moments of mischief. The sound of my older sister yelling "You Little Twerp!" over some wrong I'd done to her still rings loud and clear. Do I feel guilty? A little!

 

I'm a Little Twerp

realaudio mp3

I'm a little twerp
I'm a little twerp
I'm a little twerp
And I'm messin' around in your hair

I like to steal your chewing gum
I like to break your pencils
In class I make you giggle so
You'll get in trouble with Mrs. Grentzels

I like to laugh when you make mistakes
When we play a game, I win
You always say I cheat
And I always rub it in

I'm a little twerp
And I'm messin' around in your hair

I'll rat on you to mom and dad
I'll get dessert when you don't
When I've cleaned my room and mowed the lawn
I'll go to the movies--You won't

I'm a little twerp
And I'm messin' around in your hair

I pinch your arm and pull your pigtail
I ride your bike without permission
And when you try to get back at me
I disappear like a magician

'Cause I'm a little twerp
And I'm messin' around in your hair
