(There's plenty of believers)
 We hang on every word  almost deliriously
 (Yes  we're the believers)

 You could say it's borderline fanatic
 Hit the chord  we're basically ecstatic
 We can't afford to lose you  can't you see

 Take good care of the poor boy
 Oh well he's new in town and he won't settle down
 Take good care of the poor boy
 Oh well he's new in town and he won't settle down

 You won't sit around waiting for it to happen to you
 (There's plenty who will listen)
 If you hide yourself away, your country may honour you
 (A brighter future glistens)

 Pulled alarms in shows of mere defiance
 Draw the looks, don't choose this reliance
 Crown of our creation, we're on our knees
 Lord

 Take good care of the poor boy
 Oh well he's new in town and he won't settle down
 Take good care of the poor boy
 Oh well he's new in town and he won't settle down
 Good luck saving the the poor boy
 Oh when the city's down and he's gone underground

 Oooo if you leave us behind
 Your songs they will stand for all time
 Oooo if you leave us behind (yeah)
 There'll be streets with your name on the sign (yeah)
 Oh Lord

 Take good care of the poor boy
 Oh well he's new in town and he won't settle down
 Take good care of the poor boy
 Oh well he's new in town and he won't settle down

 Hey poor boy, hey poor boy, he'll never settle down
 (He'll never settle down)
 Hey poor boy, hey poor boy, he'll never settle down
 (He'll never settle down)
 Hey poor boy, hey poor boy, he'll never settle down
 (He'll never settle down)
 Hey poor boy, hey poor boy, he'll never settle down
