The One and Only Curly
(Dedicated to Curly Howard who died January 18, 1952.)
You were weird and you were squirrely.
You were the one and only Curly.
You broke millions of hearts when you died in 1952.
You've been dead for a long time but people still love you.
They originally wanted Shemp but couldn't have him so they used you instead.
To become a stooge, you had to shave your head.
You starred in more shows than Shemp or Joe.
Millions of people laughed when you got hit or poked by Moe.
