The Killing Of Georgie [Part I And II[00:00:00]
In these days of changing ways[00:00:20]
So called liberated days[00:00:22]
A story comes to mind of a friend of mine[00:00:25]
Georgie boy was gay I guess[00:00:30]
Nothin' more or nothin' less[00:00:32]
The kindest guy I ever knew[00:00:35]
His mother's tears fell in vain[00:00:40]
The afternoon George tried to explain[00:00:43]
That he needed love like all the rest[00:00:45]
Pa said "There must be a mistake[00:00:50]
How can my son not be straight[00:00:53]
After all I've said and done for him"[00:00:55]
Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus[00:01:10]
Cast out by the ones he loves[00:01:12]
A victim of these gay days it seems[00:01:15]
Georgie went to New York town[00:01:30]
Where he quickly settled down[00:01:32]
And soon became the toast of the great white way[00:01:34]
Accepted by Manhattan's elite[00:01:39]
In all the places that were chic[00:01:42]
No party was complete without George[00:01:44]
Along the boulevards he'd cruise[00:01:49]
And all the old queens blew a fuse[00:01:52]
Everybody loved Georgie boy[00:01:54]
The last time I saw George alive[00:02:09]
Was in the summer of seventy-five[00:02:11]
He said he was in love I said I'm pleased[00:02:14]
George attended the opening night[00:02:19]
Of another Broadway hype[00:02:21]
But split before the final curtain fell[00:02:23]
Deciding to take a short cut home[00:02:28]
Arm in arm they meant no wrong[00:02:31]
A gentle breeze blew down Fifth Avenue[00:02:33]
Out of a darkened side street came[00:02:48]
A New Jersey gang with just one aim[00:02:50]
To roll some innocent passer-by[00:02:53]
There ensued a fearful fight[00:02:58]
Screams rang out in the night[00:03:00]
Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone[00:03:03]
A leather kid a switchblade knife[00:03:08]
He did not intend to take his life[00:03:10]
He just pushed his luck a little too far that night[00:03:12]
The sight of blood dispersed the gang[00:03:17]
A crowd gathered the police came[00:03:20]
An ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and Third[00:03:22]
Georgie's life ended there[00:03:37]
But I ask "Who really cares "[00:03:39]
George once said to me and I quote[00:03:42]
He said "Never wait or hesitate[00:03:46]
Get in kid before it's too late[00:03:49]
You may never get another chance"[00:03:51]
"'Cause youth's a mask but it don't last[00:03:56]
Live it long and live it fast"[00:03:59]
Georgie was a friend of mine[00:04:01]
Oh Georgie stay don't go away[00:04:52]
Georgie please stay you take our breath away[00:05:07]
Oh Georgie stay don't go away[00:05:20]
Georgie please stay you take our breath away[00:05:36]
Oh Georgie stay don't go away[00:05:51]
Georgie Georgie please stay you take our breath away[00:06:05]
Oh Georgie stay[00:06:12]
