- Ray Vecchio was a Chicago Cop
- A good friend of a Mountie
- He knew that he should understand
- Why he wasn't in Mountie on the Bounty.
- For Ray had lost his way in life
- His wages had been cut
- Due South went on without him
- His departure was abrupt.
-
- His replacement was a blonde chap
- He was actually pretty good
- But Ray sat and watched in agony
- It was in his place he stood.
-
- He wanted to make a come back
- In the final episode
- Of Due South's final screening
- He could manage the workload.
-
- In Call of the Wild he did appear
- "Hello Benny" his first line
- But what he didn't realise
- Was that Benny was doing fine.
-
- Without Ray Vecchio's banter
- He was actually rather good
- For Stanley, his new partner
- Filled in every line he should.
-
- Although our Mountie did miss Ray
- He knew Due South was good
- A masterpiece of drama
- In a very Canadian way.
-
- So Ray and Benton bid farewell
- They would not be seen again
- As the duo on our screens at night
- But I'm sure Due South will ride again.
