so called liberated days
 a story comes to mind of a friend of mine

 Georgie boy was gay I guess
 nothin' more or nothin' less
 the kindest guy I ever knew

 His mother's tears fell in vain
 the afternoon George tried to explain
 that he needed love like all the rest

 Pa said there must be a mistake
 how can my son not be straight
 after all I've said and done for him

 Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus
 cast out by the ones he loves
 A victim of these gay days it seems

 Georgie went to New York town
 where he quickly settled down
 and soon became the toast of the great white way

 Accepted by Manhattan's elite
 in all the places that were chic
 No party was complete without George

 Along the boulevards he'd cruise
 and all the old queens blew a fuse
 Everybody loved Georgie boy

 The last time I saw George alive
 was in the summer of seventy-five
 he said he was in love I said I'm pleased

 George attended the opening night
 of another Broadway hype
 but split before the final curtain fell

 Deciding to take a short cut home
 arm in arm they meant no wrong
 A gentle breeze blew down Fifth Avenue

 Out of a darkened side street came
 a New Jersey gang with just one aim
 to roll some innocent passer-by
 There ensued a fearful fight
 screams rang out in the night
 Georgie's head hit a sidewalk cornerstone

 A leather kid, a switchblade knife
 He did not intend to take his life
 He just pushed his luck a little too far that night

 The sight of blood dispersed the gang
 A crowd gathered, the police came
 An ambulance screamed to a halt on Fifty-third and Third

 Georgie's life ended there
 but I ask who really cares
 George once said to me and I quote

 He said "Never wait or hesitate
 Get in kid, before it's too late
 You may never get another chance
 'Cos youth a mask but it don't last
 live it long and live it fast"
 Georgie was a friend of mine

 Oh Georgie stay, don't go away
 Georgie please stay you take our breath away
 Oh Georgie stay, don't go away
 Georgie please stay you take our breath away
 Oh Georgie stay, don't go away
 Georgie, Georgie please stay you take our breath away
 Oh Georgie stay
