    I am just a poor boy*
    Though my story's seldom told*I have squandered my resistance*
    For a pocket full of mumbles such are promises*
    All lies and jests*
    Still a man hears what he wants to hear*
    And disregards the rest*la la la la
    When I left my home and my family*I was no more than a boy*
    In the company of strangers*
    In the quiet of the railway station running scared*
    Laying low, seeking out the poorer quarters*
    Where the ragged people go*
    Looking for the places only they would know*
    Lie la lie ...*
    Asking only workman's wages*I come looking for a job*
    But I get no offers,*Just a come-on from the whores on Seventh Avenue*
    I do declare, there were times when I was so lonesome*I took some comfort there*
    Lie la lie ...*
    Then I'm laying out my winter clothes*
    And wishing I was gone*
    Going home*
    Where the New York City winters aren't bleeding me*
    Bleeding me, going home*
    In the clearing stands a boxer*And a fighter by his trade*
    And he carries the reminders*
    Of ev'ry glove that layed him down*
    Or cut him till he cried out*
    In his anger and his shame*"I am leaving, I am leaving"*
    But the fighter still remainsSo roll me further, bitch!

    What have a goldfish and helicopter got in common? Theyre not fire engines.
