What are you doing in my town
Little boy , do you have a mother now
And are you planning on settling down
Do you know , when your head grows grey
Will you feel the same as you did before
Cos when your old and grey
You'll still feel the way you do today
And nothings gonna change
Little boy , now you're growing older
You'll need a shoulder to guide you through
And you find when you fall in love
You know you'll cry just the way that I do
Don't you know there's a little girl to love
That's what makes the world go 'round
But when you're old and grey
You'll still think the way you do today
And nothings gonna change
Little boy , with your face so pretty now
What are you doing in my town
Little boy , do you have a mother now
Are you planning on settling down ....
