He was the kind of kid you did not want to sit by 
He kept his boogers in his desk he wore a neck tie 
And he never washed his hair 
You wished he wasn't there 
 
But everybody cried 
The night that Kenny died 
Everybody cried 
The night that Kenny died 
 
It was so touching all the girls that would not touch him 
He drew their pictures in his books I used to watch him 
And then he'd pick his nose 
And wipe it on his clothes 
 
But everybody cried 
The night that Kenny died 
Everybody cried 
The night that Kenny died 
 
Died on a motorcycle 
We never understood 
That he was holdin' on tight 
Through the middle of the night 
Starin' at a [?] one Mercury hood 
 
It seemed so spooky that the nerd we all detested 
Would die so gloriously and so unexpected 
A wonderful guy God knows 
They kept the casket closed 
 
And everybody cried 
The night that Kenny died 
Everybody cried 
The night that Kenny died 
 
And everybody cried 
The night that Kenny died 
Everybody cried 
The night that Kenny died 
 
And everybody cried 
The night that Kenny died 
Everybody cried 
The night that Kenny died 
 
And everybody cried 
The night that Kenny died 
Everybody cried 
The night that Kenny died
