Do do do-do do, do do do-do do Do do do-do do do-do do do-do do do
When I was a boy, I couldn't play I had to work all day just to stay awake
When I was a boy, I used to seize in the night I'd bite my tongue, fall out of bed, give Mother a fright Buzzing machine, dots of cold cream fixed wires to my head Bob the technician, his one leg was wooden He said to lay still in my hospital bed
Do do do-do do, do do do-do do Do do do-do do do-do do do-do do do
When I was a boy, I used to pray I had to work all day just to stay awake When I was a boy, my hair was grey Now I just work all day just to stay awake
