The Animals - City Boy lyrics
[The Animals - City Boy lyrics]
And it wasn't very pretty it was dying
There were some who had more
Than they could eat
And other with no shoes up on their feet
They were crying
I saw a brother sell his brother
While the cops held another
They were laughing
I saw two dogs in the street
A black one and a white one
They were fighting if it isn't very pretty
Why do they stay in the city
And watch it dying?
Why don't I go back to the country
And sit beneath a plum tree
With my sweet little girl
And listen to her singin'?
It's because I'm caught in a trap
Lord, and you know where that's at
It sure ain't the country
Oh, Lord knows, it ain't the country
It's because it's the way I see
It every night and day i hope to change it
I'm just at city boy city boy, that's me
Hey! City boy, city boy yeah, yeah, city boy
Oh Lord, city boy
