Poor Boy |
VERSE |
He’s always alone, wrapped up in his plight |
With his hands in his pockets he’s walkin' in the night |
With his dark eyes lookin', he’s a poor boy |
His dark eyes lookin', he’s a poor boy |
VERSE |
He can’t seem to keep any buttons on his clothes |
And the shoes on his feet are pinching on his toes |
And his hair wants a cuttin', he’s a poor boy |
His hair wants a cuttin', he’s a poor boy |
CHORUS |
Hey (now, now) poor boy |
What’s it all about? |
Hey, poor boy |
Can you hear me when I shout? |
VERSE |
Well, he’s workin' ev’ry day, slavin' for his pay |
And all the pretty women they love to swish and sway |
And they always overlook him, he’s a poor boy |
They always overlook him, he’s a poor boy |
VERSE |
Well, May turns into June, walking through the park |
And way off in his world he’s a-dreamin' in the dark |
With his mind on fire, he’s a poor boy |
His mind on fire, he’s a poor boy |
(REPEAT CHORUS) |
(INSTRUMENTAL BREAK) |
VERSE |
Well, the streets are alive, ev’ry body laughs |
People come and go and they’re snappin' photographs |
And he’s over by the river, he’s a poor boy |
He’s over by the river, he’s a poor boy |
VERSE |
Well, spring has come and gone now |
And how much time you got? |
Time’s a-flyin' by, yes, an' summer’s gettin' hot an' he’s |
Lis’nin' to the thunder, he’s a poor boy |
He’s lis’nin' to the thunder, he’s a poor boy |
(REPEAT CHORUS) |
