I've Got A Case of Rickets
I always hoped my life  would be
Anything but ordinary
But suddenly, it dawned  on me
I can?t intake the  vitamin D
Cause I?ve got a case of  rickets
I?ve got a slight  bending in my spine
Maybe a show on Broadway
A musical where I could  sing
That dream has been put  to bay
What a despondent thing
Cause I?ve got a case of  rickets
It?s mine Charlie
I?ll never be strong  like the pine
If I only had more  calcium
If I got it when I was  young
I could stand the weight  of the world
My bones are so frail  and soft
Quite unlike Mrs. Anne  Bancroft
I break as when a car  crushes a squirrel
What a cruel, cruel  world
I?ll never get the  chance to be
Used as much as a pack  mule
Lock me up and throw  away the key
I just can?t face the  ridicule
Cause I?ve got a case of  rickets
Look at the bed ridden  life I?ve led
And with this case of  rickets
I?m as good as dead
I could stand the weight  of the world
I break as when a car  crushes a squirrel
What a cruel, cruel  world
I?ll never get the  chance to be
Used as much as a pack  mule
Lock me up and throw  away the key
I just can?t face the  ridicule
Cause I?ve got a case of  rickets
Look at the bed ridden  life I?ve led
And with this case of  rickets
I?m as good as dead
I could stand the weight  of the world
I break as when a car  crushes a squirrel
What a cruel, cruel  world
