Orphan boy, get out to the city with it
Orphan boy, out to the city with it
Etc
So he gets to the city on a cold, dark night
Circling the newspapers in candlelight
The Chinese family that won't go to bed
And that naked light bulb that hangs above your head
Got a daytime job in a night-time bar
Got no money and he won't get far
But there's no one here and there's no family
And there's no pocket money but he likes it like that, yeah!
