[Verse 1]
I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
And I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jest
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest (Hmm hmm)
[Verse 2]
When I left my home and my family
I was no more than a boy
In the company of strangers
In the quiet of the railway station running scared
Laying low
Seeking out the poorer quarters where the ragged people go
Looking for the places only they would know
[Chorus]
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
[Verse 3]
Asking only workman's wages
I've come lookin' for a job
But I get no offers
Just a come-on from the whores on 7th Avenue
I do declare
There were times when I was so lonesome
I took some comfort there (Hmm mmm, hmm)
I am just a poor boy
Though my story's seldom told
And I have squandered my resistance
For a pocketful of mumbles such are promises
All lies and jest
Still a man hears what he wants to hear
And disregards the rest (Hmm hmm)

[Chorus]
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie
Lie la lie, lie la lie la lie la lie, la la lie la lie
