Can anybody find the words to "Pencil-Necked Geek"? ... I can remember some of them but can't find the lyrics online yet ...

Pencil Neck Geek
Freddie Blassie

Back when I was a kid, life was going swell.
Till something happened, blew every thing to hell.
That night my daddy stumbled in, all pale and weak,
Said "A woman up the block just gave birth to a geek."

Mom said, "Sell it to the circus, what the heck."
Dad said, "Nope, this one's a pencil neck.
And if there's one thing lower than a side show freak, 
It's a grit eatin', scum suckin', pencil neck geek."

You see if you take a pencil that won't hold lead, 
Looks like a pipe cleaner atached to a head,
Add a buggy whip body with a brain that leaks,
You got yourself a grit eatin', pencil neck geek.

(chorus)
Pencil neck geek, grit eatin' freak, 
scum suckin', pea head with a lousy physique.
He's a one man, no gut, loosing streak.
Nothin' but a pencil neck geek.  

Soon the geeks were poppin' up all over town.   
You couldn't hardly sneeze without knockin' one down.
After a nice juicy steak, if you need a toothpick,
Just reach for a geek, they'll do the trick.

One day we cut one up for fish bait. 
Learned our lesson just a little bit late.
Soon as the geek hit the drink, the water turned red.
Next day, sure enough, all the fish were dead.

chorus

Most any night you know where I can be found.
Yeah, stomping some geek's head into the ground.
So keep the faith 'cause in Blassie you can trust,
I won't give up 'til the last geek bites the dust.

chorus

They say, "these geeks come a dime a dozen."
I'm lookin' for the guy who's supplin' the dimes.
Its gonna be real hard times for all of these
grit eatin',
scum suckin',
boot lickin', 
drop kickin', 
gut grindin',
nail bitin',
glue sniffin',
scab pickin',
butt scratchin',
egg hatchin',
sleezy,
smelly,
pepper bellied, 
dirty, lousy, rotten, stinkin', freaks.
Nothing but a pencil neck geek.

Hat's off to you for having that. My Googling found nothing but references to the song, as if it were part of the national consciousness like a Christmas carol.
Freddie was known as a consumate professional of public relations. He knew how to impart just what his audience expected of him no matter if they were truly dangerous hellraisers or a cancer ward full of kids. He would sublimate his real self for that character whenever he felt called upon no matter how he actually felt and suffered at least six stabbings from his refusal to break character.
That, my friends, is show biz greatness.
That's enough, Fred. You rest now.

WHAT?
I said, if we could do one more ... I'd ...
You know something, Mr. Engineer, I been wonderin' about you all day,
Here is is the middle of July, and you're wearin' that sweater up to your head,
I wonder ... I wonder ...
Mr. Blassie, please ... DON'T!!! ...
I KNEW IT! I KNEW IT!
C'mon geek, let's plug YOU in!!!
Mr. Blassie, that board's 440 volts!!!
c'mon geek ... BOOGIE!!!
