Moe David Wilcox

I admit that I’m drawn to more sobersided songs. Break up songs, introspective songs, loss, longing. Here’s a David Wilcox song that’s just fun. You must be a certain age to relate to it. If you have no knowledge of THE THREE STOOGES, the lyrics might be lost on you. But if you do…
Thanks for listening. Always appreciated.
“Moe”
Back in Brooklyn when I was ten
As if to prove that we were men
My friends and I would trash each other's families
We were morons, I know that now
I let them call my mom a cow
But somehow that measured my virility
But one day they threw a curve
They struck a raw nerve
And found the shameful secret I had kept
But I took it like a man
I stood my stand
And then I wept
'Cos when your father looks like Moe
You know, the guy from the three stooges
Life can be so cruel
At school I was a sitting duck
Behind my back I heard 'nyuk, nyuk'
And if that wasn't bad enough
Sometimes they'd bop my nose
To look at me you might believe
More likely my father looked like Curly
But no
He looked like Moe
