Lyrics
He was born on a summer day, 1951
And with a slap of a hand
He had landed as an only son
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
Oh, oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy
Oh, what a lonely boy
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
