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
nothin' more or nothin' 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
Leavin' 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
and 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 cut 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
'Cos youth a mask but it don't last
live it long and live it fast"
Georgie was
a friend of mine
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
Oh Georgie stay
