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
