No more of those beautiful boys No more of those beautiful boys
Born illegitimately to a whore most likely He became an orphan Oh, what a lovely orphan He was sent to the reformatory Ten years old, it was his first glory Got caught stealing from a nun Now his love story had begun
Thirty years he spent wandering A devil's child with dove wings Oh, he went to prison In every country he set foot in Oh, how he loved - he loved prison How awfully lovely was prison
All those beautiful boys Pimps and queens and criminal queers All those beautiful boys Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
His greatest love was executed The pure romance was undisputed Angelic hoodlums and holy ones Angelic hoodlums and holy ones
All those beautiful boys Pimps and queens and criminal queers All those beautiful boys Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
All those beautiful boys Pimps and queens and criminal queers All those beautiful boys Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears
All those beautiful boys Beautiful boys
All those beautiful boys No more of those beautiful boys No more of those beautiful boys
