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.

Out of a darkened side street came A New Jersey gang with just one aim: ‘To roll some innocent passerby. ‘There ensued a fearful fight; Screams rung out in the night.
