1
He's always alone, wrapped up in his plight
2
With his hands in his pockets he's walkin' in the night
3
With his dark eyes lookin'; he's a poor boy
4
His dark eyes lookin'; he's a poor boy
5
He can't seem to keep any buttons on his clothes
6
And the shoes on his feet are pinching on his toes
7
And his hair wants a cuttin'; he's a poor boy
8
His hair wants a cuttin'; he's a poor boy
9
[Chorus:]
10
Hey (now, now) poor boy
11
What's it all about?
12
Hey, poor boy
13
Can you hear me when I shout?
14
Well, he's workin' everyday, slavin' for his pay
15
And all the pretty women - they love to swish and sway
16
And they always overlook him; he's a poor boy
17
They always overlook him; he's a poor boy
18
Well, May turns into June, walking through the park
19
And way off in his world he's a-dreamin' in the dark
20
With his mind on fire; he's a poor boy
21
His mind on fire; he's a poor boy
22
[Chorus]
23
Well, the streets are alive, every body laughs
24
People come and go, and they're snappin' photographs
25
And he's over by the river; he's a poor boy
26
He's over by the river; he's a poor boy
27
Well, spring has come and gone now
28
And how much time you got?
29
Time's a-flyin' by, yes, and summer's gettin' hot, and he's
30
Listenin' to the thunder; he's a poor boy
31
He's listenin' to the thunder; he's a poor boy
32
[Chorus]
