Song lyrics:
OH YEAH
IN THESE DAYS
OF CHANGING WAYS
SO-CALLED LIBERATED DAYS
A STORY COMES TO MIND
OF A FRIEND OF MINE
GEORGIE BOY WAS GAY I GUESS
NOTHIN' MORE
AND NOTHIN' LESS
THE KINDEST GUY I EVER KNEW
HIS MOTHER'S TEARS
FELL IN VAIN
THE AFTERNOON
GEORGE TRIED TO EXPLAIN
THAT HE NEEDED LOVE
LIKE ALL THE REST
PA SAID THERE
MUST BE A MISTAKE
HOW CAN MY SON
NOT BE STRAIGHT
AFTER ALL I'VE SAID
AND DONE FOR HIM
LEAVIN' HOME
ON A GREYHOUND BUS
CAST OUT BY THE ONES HE LOVES
A VICTIM OF THESE
GAY DAYS IT SEEMS
GEORGIE WENT
TO NEW YORK TOWN
WHERE HE QUICKLY
SETTLED DOWN
AND SOON BECAME THE TOAST
OF THE GREAT WHITE WAY
ACCEPTED BY
MANHATTAN'S ELITE
IN ALL THE PLACES
THAT WERE CHIC
NO PARTY WAS COMPLETE
WITHOUT GEORGE
ALONG THE BOULEVARDS
HE'D CRUISE
AND ALL THE OLD
QUEENS BLEW A FUSE
EVERYBODY LOVED GEORGIE BOY
(Whistle Solo)
THE LAST TIME
I SAW GEORGE ALIVE
WAS IN THE SUMMER
OF SEVENTY-FIVE
HE SAID HE WAS IN LOVE
I SAID I'M PLEASED
GEORGE ATTENDED
THE OPENING NIGHT
OF ANOTHER BROADWAY HYPE
BUT SPLIT BEFORE
THE FINAL CURTAIN FELL
DECIDING TO TAKE
A SHORT CUT HOME
ARM IN ARM
THEY MEANT NO WRONG
A GENTLE BREEZE BLEW
DOWN FIFTH AVENUE
OUT 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 CORNERSTONE
A LEATHERED KID
A SWITCHBLADE KNIFE
HE DID NOT INTEND
TO TAKE HIS LIFE
HE JUST PUSHED HIS LUCK
A LITTLE TOO FAR THAT NIGHT
THE SIGHT OF BLOOD
DISPERSED THE GANG
A CROWD GATHERED
THE POLICE CAME
AN AMBULANCE
SCREAMED TO A HALT
ON FIFTY-THIRD AND THIRD
GEORGIE'S LIFE ENDED THERE
BUT I ASK WHO REALLY CARES
GEORGE ONCE SAID TO ME
AND I QUOTE
HE SAID NEVER WAIT
OR HESITATE
GET IN KID
BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE
YOU MAY NEVER GET
ANOTHER CHANCE
'CAUSE YOUTH'S A MASK
BUT IT DON'T LAST
LIVE IT LONG AND LIVE IT FAST
GEORGIE WAS A FRIEND OF MINE
(Whistle To End)
