Two Boys Lyrics


Peter Allen Two Boys


Two boys born the 23rd of May

Brought up in that good old fashioned way



Two boys one of them excelled at ball

The other never played at all
Two boys

- Mama loved them both the same

Papa gave them both his name

Nobody could quite explain just why...



Two boys, growing up in separate beds

Different music in their heads

Two boys growing up and leaving home 

Each an island on his own



Today one's a man who'll never cry

Never has the reason why the other let the girls go by


Two boys...



Mama loved them both the same

Papa gave them both his name

Nobody could quite explain just why...



(At end)
And they let their feelings show

Afraid to let the others know. Two boys...
