1989 Neal Gladstone
He stood 5 foot 8 weighed 145
And everyone knew not a man alive
Could save a dollar or mow a yard
Or tell worse jokes or get as hard as…Malango
He grew up tough in New York City
Where the girls are fast and life ain’t pretty
He had half a stomach and one good eye
But people shook when he walked by…Malango
He stalked the halls of CHS
The sophomores feared him more than death
The junior boys cleared him a path
And the girls longed to share a bath with…Malango
He played volley ball like a man possessed
With an iron fist and 30 inch chest
The women screamed and quaked with fright
As they gazed in awe at his mighty spike…Malango
After work he’d wrap his hand
Around an Old Milwaukee can
He liked his women like he liked his brew
Clear, full-bodied, dark and cool…Malango
One day a new mime teacher rode into town
And challenged Joe to a silent show down
At center stage they took their places
Gasping and wheezing at 20 paces…Malango
That stranger was good but Joe was better
And hearts beat fast as hands slapped leather
The stranger knew his time had come
When he saw the massive gleaming gun of…Malango
And then one day he borrowed a buck
And climbed into his pickup truck
He slid her down into first gear
And said, “Hey, baby, I’m outa here.”…Malango
And late at night when children cry
And thunder rolls across the sky
As the final stroke of midnight falls
One name still echoes down the halls…Malango
