Lyrics
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.
Verse #1:
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.
Chorus:
HE SCORED A GOAL!
HE SCORED A GOAL!
HE SCORED A GOAL!
HE SCORED A GOAL!
(yodel) O DE LADY, O DE LADY, O DE LADY WHO!
SOUNDS A LITTLE FUNNY.
BUT I SWEAR IT'S TRUE.
Verse #2:
HE WAS ABOUT SIXTEEN , AND I DON'T MEAN TO SCOFF, BUT HE WAS SORT OF ODD, A LITTLE 'OFF.'
NOT TO PIGEONHOLE. NOT TO PIGEONHOLE!
Chorus: (yodel only here)
Verse #3:
HE HAD TO TELL A TOTAL STRANGER WHAT HE'D DONE.
BUT I'M NOT INTO SPORTS, WHO'S LOST AND WON.
YET I SAID TO HIM : GOOD FOR YOU! ROCK 'N' ROLL!
Chorus:
YOU SCORED A GOAL!
YOU SCORED A GOAL!
YOU SCORED A GOAL! YOU SCORED A GOAL!
O DE LADY, O DE LADY, O DE LADY WHO!
SOUNDS A LITTLE FUNNY. BUT I SWEAR IT'S TRUE.
Verse #4:
HE WAS NEEDY, SO HUNGRY FOR A COMPLIMENT,
SO DESPERATE FOR SOME ENCOURAGEMENT.
I HOPE MY WORDS HELPED HIM FEEL MORE WHOLE.
Chorus: (yodel only) O DE LADY, O DE LADY, O DE LADY WHO!
Verse #5:
HE GIGGLED AS HE RAN BACK TO HIS SOCCER GAME.
I WAVED AND LEFT AND NEVER KNEW HIS NAME.
BUT THEN HE WAVED AT ME AND SMILED TOO.
Partial Chorus:
HE SCORED A GOAL!
HE SCORED A GOAL! HE SCORED A GOAL!
HE SCORED A GOAL!
Bridge:
IN THIS WORLD THERE IS THICK AND THIN.
I HOPE TO GOD HE SCORES AGAIN.
HE WAS SO HAPPY, AS PLEASED AS PUNCH.
I WENT SOMEWHERE AND HAD SOME LUNCH.
Chorus: (yodel only) O DE LADY, O DE LADY, O DE LADY WHO!
Verse # 6
IF YOU LIKE THIS LITTLE SONG, OR YOU ARE EVEN STIRRED, AND YOU CAN BRING YOURSELF TO SAY A WORD,
Chorus:
I WROTE THIS SONG.
I WROTE THIS SONG.
I WROTE THIS SONG!
I WROTE THIS SONG!
O DE LADY, O DE LADY, O DE LADY WHO!
SOUNDS A LITTLE FUNNY.
BUT I SWEAR IT'S TRUE.
Verse # 7
NOW PLEASE DON'T SCOFF. BUT, YEAH, I AM A LITTLE "OFF." SAY: GOOD FOR YOU. GOOD FOR YOU. BLESS HIS SOUL!
Verse # 8 (irregular]
GOOD FOR YOU! AND SMILE TOO.
JUST SAY: GOOD FOR YOU. GOOD FOR YOU. I LOVE YOUR SONG.
AND PLEASE SMILE TOO.
(yodel only - with JOY)
