The Greatest

Once upon a time,

The angels were feelin' good,

So they rendezvoused
In the pimpin' angel hood.

The angels got together,
They let their light shine
And sent down a boy
Who was hella mighty fine.

There goes Kiet,
Remember the name.
Once he passes by,
You'll never be the same.

There he is,
The awesome king of cool
Strutting his stuff
As he makes his way to school.

A model of perfection,
He's simply the best!
When he's around,
You forget about the rest.

There goes Kiet,
Remember the name.
Once he passes by,
You'll never be the same.

But, alas, his fatal error...
He got a big head.
It exploded with a BOOM!
And Kiet wound up dead.

And so the boy named Kiet
Whose real name was Kevin
Had his soul rise
And floated back to heaven.

Here comes Kiet,
Remember the name.
He's just passing by,
Going back the way he came.
