Lyrics
[Verse 1] He was born on a summer day, 1951 And with a slap of a hand, he had landed as an only son [Pre-Chorus 1] His mother and father said: "What a lovely boy? We'll teach him what we learned, ah, yes! Just what we learned We'll dress him up warmly and we'll send him to school It'll teach him how to fight, to be nobody's fool" [Chorus] Oh! Oh! What a lonely boy? Oh! What a lonely boy? Oh! What a lonely boy? [Verse 2] In the summer of '53, his mother brought him a sister And she told him: "We must attend to her needs, she's so much younger than you" [Pre-Chorus 2] Well, he ran down the hall and he cried Oh! How could his parents have lied? When they said he was their only son He thought he was their only one [Chorus] Oh! Oh! What a lonely boy? Oh! What a lonely boy? Oh! What a lonely boy? [Bridge] Goodbye Mama! Goodbye you! Goodbye Papa! I'm pushing on through! [Verse 3] He left home on a winter day, 1969 And he hoped to find all the love he had lost in that earlier time [Pre-Chorus 3] Well, his sister grew up And she married a man He gave her a son Ah, yes! A lovely son They dressed him up warmly They sent him to school It taught him how to fight To be nobody's fool [Chorus] Oh! Oh! What a lonely boy? Oh! What a lonely boy? Oh! What a lonely boy? [Outro] Whoa-whoa-whoa! Oh! What a lonely boy? Oh! What a lonely boy? Oh! What a lonely boy?
