| The Killing Of Georgie
In these days of changing ways
And so called liberated days
A story comes to mind of a friend of mine
Georgie boy was gay I guess
Nothin' more or nothin' less
The kindest guy I ever knew
His mother's tears fell in vain
Afternoon George tried to explain
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 loved
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 elite
In all the races 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
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 he 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
Well, screams rang out in the night
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone
A leather kid, a switchblade knife
He didn`t 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
I`m gonna bring it down
Georgie's life ended there
But then I ask who really cared
Georgie said to me and I quote:
'Never wait or hesitate
And get in kid, before it's too late
You may never get another chance
'Cos youth`s a mask and it won't last
Live it long and live it fast'
Georgie was a friend of mine
I`ll take it home
Oh Georgie stay, take my breath away
Georgie please stay, don`t go, don`t go away, let it go
Oh, oh Georgie, ooooooowhooooo
Georgie, Georgie, Georgie please stay, yeah
Ooooooowhooooo, oh yeah
Georgie, Georgie stay
