1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero Lyrics - Singles - Bobby Russell

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero. 

'n' you can see him ev'ry weekend with a carfull of kids and snow cones 

And the people 'cross town don't know his name 

But on Franklin Pike Circle he's king 

1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero 

Well, at five thirty-five at the corner of Franklin and Walnut 

A blue station wagon comes slidin' around the corner 

And on down Franklin Pike Circle all you're seein' is a streak of blue 

And pulls in the drive at the address of 1432 

And he says "My head aches and my back hurts and I don't feel like talkin'" 

"Don't wan' go the show to see Doctor Zhivago" 

"Don't wanna take the dog out walkin'" 

"I wanna sit right here in this easy chair, it's been a jungle all day, you know" 

The 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero is home 

He was out pitching ball with the kids in the neighborhood yesterday 

And the ole major-leaguer had to quit 'cause he said he threw his arm away 

And the kids all hid behind the hedge and laughed at him but wouldn't let it show 

Because they love him so, 

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero 

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero 

'n' you can see him ev'ry weekend with a carfull of kids and snow cones 

An', ya know, people 'cross town don't know his name 

But on Franklin Pike Circle he's king 

1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero 

Well , he won a little pony at the Hill High auction just the other day 

And he di'n't mean to do it and he wanted to give the pony away 

a-When they called out his name he tried not to claim it 

But the kids started cryin' 'cause they'd already named it 

And who's up ev'ry Saturday morning? 

Saddling his new toy? You guessed it- 

The 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Cowboy 

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero 

'n' you can see him ev'ry weekend with a carfull of kids and snow cones 

Durin' Christmas took the kids down to see the floats 

When he wanted t'stay home and watch the Baltimore Colts 

1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero 

Well the ten-thirty news usually finds our hero is a sleepy head 

And Peter's out somewhere wreckin' the car 

And the rest 'the kids have gone to bed 

So she takes his hand, they climb the stairs and he falls asleep 

And she bends over him so tenderly to kiss his cheek 

'cause she loves him so, and she's lucky, you know? 

To be married to the 1432, 

1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero 

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero 

'n' you can see him ev'ry weekend with a carfull of kids and snow cones 

FADE 

Christmas time he took 'em down to see the floats 

When he wanted t'stay home and watch the Baltimore Colts 

1432 Franklin Pike Circle Hero
