She lay face up in the center ring sand
Clutching nothing in her hand
Shot by someone, he knew she was dead
He was a detective it has been said
Not a spark of life in the strip was to be read
“It happened” was all that was said by… Ringo
Ringo, Ringo
He talked to him till we were blue in the face
The days went by, nothing changed in its pace
From the break of dawn to the setting sun
Never moving, not a question for anyone
Hour on hour we watched in boredom
“It happened” was all we were to get from…Ringo
Ringo, Ringo
Then one day we were put to a test
The story moved, maybe a minute at best
He said he was the law and the best by far
But we knew different, he was a faded star
All the life and blood had been drained
“It happened”, came the refrain from…Ringo
Ringo, Ringo
It’s been said Lochers next to none
But his drawings lately are of no fun
Coupled with plots and dialog that surely miss
Readers are left only to twist
Though the strip is such a bore
We all come back for a little more of…Ringo
Ringo, Ringo
The strip has shrunk in numbers throughout the land
Given the touch of Dicks cold hand
Then we’re told new blood is on the way
Spam has been posted day after day
Those who have the temerity to complain
Will never again get to hear that lousy refrain from…Ringo
Ringo, Ringo
To the tune of Lorne Greens “Ringo”
