The Killing Of Georgie

Oh yeah

In these days of changing ways

So called liberated days

A story comes to mind of a friend of mineGeorgie boy was gay I guess

Nothin' more or nothin' less

The kindest guy I ever knewHis mother's tears fell in vain

The afternoon George tried to explain

That he needed love like all the restPa said there must be a mistake

How can my son not be straight

After all I've said and done for himDa da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duhLeavin' home on a Greyhound bus

Cast out by the ones he loves

A victim of these gay days it seemsDa da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duhGeorgie went to New York town

Where he quickly settled down

And soon became the toast of the great white wayAccepted by Manhattan's elite

In all the places that were chic

No party was complete without GeorgeAlong the boulevards he'd cruise

And all the old queens blew a fuse

Everybody loved Georgie boyDa da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duhThe last time I saw George alive

Was in the summer of seventy-five

He said he was in love I said I'm pleasedGeorge attended the opening night

Of another Broadway hype

But split before the final curtain fellDeciding to take a short cut home

Arm in arm they meant no wrong

A gentle breeze blew down fifth avenueDa da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duhOut of a darkened side street came

A New Jersey gang with just one aim

To roll some innocent passer-by

There ensued a fearful fight

Screams rang out in the night

Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstoneA leather kid, a switchblade knife

He did not intend to take his life

He just pushed his luck a little too far that nightThe sight of blood dispersed the gang

A crowd gathered, the police came

An ambulance screamed to a halt on fifty-third and thirdDa da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duhGeorgie's life ended there

But I ask who really cares

George once said to me and I quoteHe said "never wait or hesitate

Get in kid, before it's too late

You may never get another chance

'Cause youth a mask but it don't last

Live it long and live it fast"

Georgie was a friend of mineDa da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duhDa da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duh

Da da da da da da duhOh Georgie stay,

Don't go away

Georgie please stay

You take our breath away

Oh Georgie stay,

Don't go away

Georgie please stay

You take our breath away

Oh Georgie stay,

Don't go away

Georgie, Georgie stay (please stay)

You take our breath away
