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)
 (INSTRUMENTAL OUT)
