Robbie Dillon, Robbie Dillon Some call him a saint Some call him a villain Some know him as Robbie Dick But when the chips are down he's my top pick The lonely streets of NDG Oh how they miss you Robbie D Walkley, Somerled, and Benny Come back to us, Robbie D We're waiting at the corner store Just to see you just once more We hope you're not off doing time Come back to the 5 and dime From your early days near Cavendish On the farm you made your wish To rise above your poverty Nothing could keep you from being free Soon you and your friends were running things Stealing hearts and pulling strings About your gang we all did marvel I heard about you all the way to Harvard We never went to Benny Pool We were careful we were no fools Throughout the land your legend rang We all feared the Benny gang Never met you til I was 30 In that famous bar so dirty On the Main just below Pine We both worked for Vice at the time You were mad at the editor And to me you were like a predator Asking if it could be true That he attributed his words to you Your anger made it hard to think But still we talked it out over drinks I think eventually you quit It was for the best, that little shit After that we crossed paths some Around you I always felt kinda dumb Your wit, your mind, and your sarcasm Bordering on iconoclasm But always you supported me Even when madness contorted me So from those days until the end I'm blessed to have you as a friend Robbie's gone from NDG But still lives on in memory Gentleman, philosopher, dream of girls Smartest crook in the underworld Let us not dwell on your past And how you have what you've amassed Instead we walk on your new path Your higher education aftermath The streets here they still call your name But you are playing a different game Now you have a new economy Brandishing your new philosophy But no matter how far away you roam This neighbourhood will always be home You can take the thug out of NDG Come back and see us Robbie D Robbie Dillon, Robbie Dillon Some call him a saint Some call him a villain Some know him as Robbie Dick But when the chips are down he's my top pick
