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, nothing more
or nothing 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

Leaving 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.
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

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 out 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 leather 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

EIEIEIEIEI

Oh Georgie stay,
don't go away

Oh Georgie stay,
don't go away

Georgie please

stay, you take our
breath away

Oh Georgie stay,

don't go away

Georgie please

stay, you take our
breath away

Oh Georgie stay,

don't go away

Georgie, Georgie
please stay,

you take our breath
away
