THE STORY of the NEEDY BOY

(Words and Music by Daniel Curzon, Copyright 2018)

I SCORED A GOAL! 
I SCORED A GOAL! 
I SCORED A GOAL! 
I SCORED A GOAL!
(yodel)  O DE LADY, O DE LADY, O DE LADY WHO! 
SOUNDS A LITTLE FUNNY.
BUT I SWEAR IT’S TRUE.

SO SAID THE BOY PLAYING SOCCER BEHIND THE FENCE, 
AS HE CAME UP TO ME, HIS SMILE IMMENSE.
BLESS HIS SOUL BLESS HIS SOUL YEAH, BLESS HIS SOUL.

HE  SCORED A GOAL! 
HE SCORED A GOAL! 
HE SCORED A GOAL!

SOUNDS A LITTLE FUNNY.
BUT I SWEAR IT’S TRUE.

YOU   SCORED   A   GOAL!

I HOPE MY WORDS HELPED HIM FEEL MORE WHOLE.

WAVED AT ME AND SMILED TOO.

HE SCORED A GOAL! 
HE SCORED A GOAL!

IN THIS WORLD THERE  IS THICK AND THIN.

I WENT SOMEWHERE AND HAD SOME LUNCH.
