Angelo’s done well down by the river.  
He’s won the drag race.  
He’s a champion.  

All the neighborhood chicks
are way impressed.  

They crowd around the boy,
there’s nothing he can do about it.  

There’s beer for a champion like him.  

Angelo soaks it all in—
the beer, his cheering mates,
and the adoring chicks.  

Angelo has a little too much to drink.  

He leaves the car parked
down by the river.  

He’s got sense enough
not to drive in his condition.  

It’s only a short walk home.  

He makes Sunday Mass with
Sally and Felix next morning,
avoiding a sound thumping
by his Dad.      

Bobby
