3
See the lady
4
Smiles as if to tell
5
Her son remembers everyone
6
Treats 'em all quite well
7
He never asked for promises
8
And now his fame is wide
9
And everyone who knew him well shares a little pride
10
Chorus:
11
Ain't he a genius
12
The boy's become a star
13
And he smiles upon the faces
14
Who wish they could go far
15
Not long ago they criticized
16
The genius only wrote
17
And now they listen spellbound
18
With lumps caught in their throats
19
His virtue was sheer poverty
20
His vice was reading plays
21
While other children starved and fought
22
He learned just what to say
23
Through tension and confession
24
He beat the monster down
25
Then surfaced in society no longer underground
26
Chorus:
27
Ain't he a genius
28
The boy's become a star
29
And he smiles upon the faces
30
Who wish they could go far
31
Now they remember
32
Talk only of his good
33
While jealousy flows in their veins
34
And says I wish I could
35
Ain't he a genius
