I'm glad that I knew Richy

In his little blue jacket and his blonde baby curls

As he sped along on his little yellow race car

I was sad to see him go, but now I'd Have a room of my own!

 

I'm glad that I knew Richy

Now he's started school

You should see him in his uniform, what a cheeky smile

I was sad to see him go, but now he's got his room!

 

I'm glad that I knew Richy

He's got his own room now

Not for him Action Man! Oh No! It's the Lone Ranger and Tonto

I was sad to see him go, but now he's got to grow!

 

I'm glad that I knew Richy

He's had a chance to grow

Guitars and girls fill his life, high school and exams

I was sad to see him go, but he's had his to grow!

 

I'm glad that I knew Richy

Oh! did I mention his pals?

A strange rabbit and two daft dogs, he kept them in his room

I was sad to see him go, but those dogs! Completely mad!

 

I'm glad that I knew Richy

You should have seen him in a kilt!

What a sight! him and Fesoj standing at the church

I was sad to see him go,but oh! Check those legs!

 

I'm glad that I knew Richy

Oh yes our Nicknames

Richy was Dinger! Jose was Fesoj! and me just plain old uncle Bert!

I'm sad to say our Dingers gone away!

 

I'm glad that I knew Richy

I'm sad he's gone away, I saw him in a dream one night

Standing in a field

My mum appeared  and took his hand and walked into the light!

 

I'm glad that I knew Richy.
