lyrics

Every Tramp is some Mothers little Boy

Words and Music by Andre Pienaar

Verse 1
Have you wandered through the lonely city streets at night
Have you wondered about the man
Holding out his hand
“Have you got some money please
For a piece of bread?”
And did you walk on by
When you should have stopped and cried
And wondered what had made his poor heart die inside

Chorus
Cause every tramp is some mother’s little boy (he’s such a lonely man)
And probably is somebody’s Dad (give him all the love that you can)
And did you ever wonder
What sort of life he’s had
Cause in his heart
He surely is’nt bad

Verse 2
Take a stroll across a city park one Sunday morn
You’ll see them on the benches
Sleeping in the stenches
Of another drunken Saturday night all alone
And if and when they wake up
To face a world so vile
Another day will waste away without a smile

Chorus
Every tramp is some mother’s little boy (he’s holding out his hand)
And probably is somebody’s Dad (spare a little love if you can)
And did you ever wonder
Just what makes life so sad
Cause I believe that
Nobody’s bad

Chorus (Repeat)
Cause every tramp is some mother’s little boy (he’s such a lonely man)
And probably is somebody’s Dad (give him all the love that you can)
And did you ever wonder
What sort of life he’s had
Cause in his heart
He surely is’nt bad

Repeat
