What is a song that can go with the book Maniac Magee?

"Maniac Magee" by Loudon Wainwright III

This song was inspired by the book of the same name by Jerry Spinelli. The song tells the story of Maniac Magee, a young boy who runs away from home and finds himself in a new town. Maniac is an outsider and is often misunderstood, but he eventually finds his place in the world. The song celebrates Maniac's resilience and his ability to find happiness in even the darkest of times.

Here are some lyrics from the song:

>He's a maniac, maniac on the floor

And he's dancing like he's never danced before

He's a maniac, maniac on the floor

And he's dancing like he's never danced before

>He's a runaway, runaway from home

He's a runaway, runaway from home

He's a runaway, runaway from home

He's a runaway, runaway from home

>He's a loner, a loner in the crowd

He's a loner, a loner in the crowd

He's a loner, a loner in the crowd

He's a loner, a loner in the crowd

>But he's found a place, a place to call his own

He's found a place, a place to call his own

He's found a place, a place to call his own

He's found a place, a place to call his own
