Nineteen sixty-one
And with the slap of a hand he had landed as an only son
Mother and father said what a lovely boy
We'll teach him what we learned
Oh yes just what we learned
We'll dress him up warmly and we'll send him to school
It'll teach him how to fight and be nobody's fool
Oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
In the summer of sixty-three
His mother brought him a sister
And she told him we must attend to her needs
She's so much younger that you
Well he ran down the hall and he cried
Oh how could his parents have lied
When they said he was the only son
He thought he was the only one
Oh, oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
Oh what a lonely boy
He left home on a winter day
Nineteen seventy-nine
And he hoped to find all the love he had
Lost in that earlier time
Well his sister grew up and she married a man
She gave him a son, oh yes a lovely son
They dressed him up warmly
They sent him to school
It taught him how to fight and be nobody's fool
Oh, oh what a lonely boy
He was born on a summer day Nineteen sixty-one And with the slap of a hand he had landed as an only son Mother and father said what a lovely boy We'll teach him what we learned Oh yes just what we learned We'll dress him up warmly and we'll send him to school It'll teach him how to fight and be nobody's fool Oh, oh what a lonely boy Oh what a lonely boy Oh what a lonely boy In the summer of sixty-three His mother brought him a sister And she told him we must attend to her needs She's so much younger that you Well he ran down the hall and he cried Oh how could his parents have lied When they said he was the only son He thought he was the only one Oh, oh what a lonely boy Oh what a lonely boy Oh what a lonely boy He left home on a winter day Nineteen seventy-nine And he hoped to find all the love he had Lost in that earlier time Well his sister grew up and she married a man She gave him a son, oh yes a lovely son They dressed him up warmly They sent him to school It taught him how to fight and be nobody's fool Oh, oh what a lonely boy Explain Request ×
