He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero
You can see him ever weekend with a car full of kids and snow cones
And the people cross town don't know his name
But on Franklin Pike Circle he's king
He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

Well at 5:35 at the corner of Franklin and Warner
A blue station wagon comes slidin' round the corner
And on down Franklin Pike Circle all you're seein' is a streak of blue
He pulls in the drive at the address of 1432

And he says my head aches and my back aches
And I don't feel like talkin'
They'll wanna go to the show to see Doctor Zhivago
They'll 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 pitchin' ball with the kids in the neighborhood yesterday
And the ol' 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
Cause they love him so he's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero...

Well he won a little pony at the Here High Action just the other day
And he didn't mean to do it and he wanted to give the pony away
When they called out his name he tried not to claim it
But the kids started cryin' cause they'd already named it
Now who's up ever Saturday mornin' saddlin' his new toy
You guessed it the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle cowboy

He's the 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero
And you can see him ever weekend with a car full of kids and snow cones
Durin' Christmas took the kids down to see the floats
When he wanted to stay home and watch the Baltimore Colts
1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero

Well the 10:30 news usually finds our hero is a sleepy head
And peters out somewhere rackin' the car and the rest of the kids have gone to bed
So I take his hand and we climb the stairs and he falls asleep
And I bend over him so tenderly to kiss his cheek

Cause I love him so and I'm lucky you know
To be married to the 1432
The 1432 Franklin Pike Circle hero
