(Part I and II)(Rod Stewart)In these days of changing waysso called liberated daysa story comes to mind of a friend of mineGeorgie boy was gay I guessnothin' more or nothin' lessthe kindest guy I ever knewHis mother's tears fell in vainthe afternoon George tried to explainthat he needed love like all the restPa said there must be a mistakehow can my son not be straightafter all I've said and done for himLeavin' home on a Greyhound buscast out by the ones he lovesA victim of these gay days it seemsGeorgie went to New York townwhere he quickly settled downand soon became the toast of the great white wayAccepted by Manhattan's elitein all the places that were chicNo party was complete without GeorgeAlong the boulevards he'd cruiseand all the old queens blew a fuseEverybody loved Georgie boyThe last time I saw George alivewas in the summer of seventy-fivehe said he was in love I said I'm pleasedGeorge attended the opening nightof another Broadway hypebut split before the final curtain fellDeciding to take a short cut homearm in arm they meant no wrongA gentle breeze blew down Fifth AvenueOut of a darkened side street camea New Jersey gang with just one aimto roll some innocent passer-byThere ensued a fearful fightscreams rang out in the nightGeorgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstoneA leather kid, a switchblade knifeHe did not intend to take his lifeHe just pushed his luck a little too far that nightThe sight of blood dispersed the gangA crowd gathered, the police cameAn ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and ThirdGeorgie's life ended therebut I ask who really caresGeorge once said to me and I quoteHe said "Never wait or hesitateGet in kid, before it's too lateYou may never get another chance'Cos youth a mask but it don't lastlive it long and live it fast"Georgie was a friend of mineOh Georgie stay, don't go awayGeorgie please stay you take our breath awayOh Georgie stay, don't go awayGeorgie please stay you take our breath awayOh Georgie stay, don't go awayGeorgie, Georgie please stay you take our breath awayOh Georgie stay
