He's always alone, wrapped up in his plight With his hands in his pockets he's walkin' in the night With his dark eyes lookin'; he's a poor boy His dark eyes lookin'; he's a poor boy He can't seem to keep any buttons on his clothes And the shoes on his feet are pinching on his toes And his hair wants a cuttin'; he's a poor boy His hair wants a cuttin'; he's a poor boy [Chorus:] Hey (now, now) poor boy What's it all about? Hey, poor boy Can you hear me when I shout? Well, he's workin' everyday, slavin' for his pay And all the pretty women - they love to swish and sway And they always overlook him; he's a poor boy They always overlook him; he's a poor boy Well, May turns into June, walking through the park And way off in his world he's a-dreamin' in the dark With his mind on fire; he's a poor boy His mind on fire; he's a poor boy [Chorus] Well, the streets are alive, every body laughs People come and go, and they're snappin' photographs And he's over by the river; he's a poor boy He's over by the river; he's a poor boy Well, spring has come and gone now And how much time you got? Time's a-flyin' by, yes, and summer's gettin' hot, and he's Listenin' to the thunder; he's a poor boy He's listenin' to the thunder; he's a poor boy [Chorus]
