Boy Wonder - The Undertones

Boy Wonder never wants to grow up

Cos with some competition he won’t look so great

But he’s the biggest in the street

He knows to use his weight

But when he comes to realise

It will be too late

Kept away from school he didn’t fit

And to the younger children he was it

Like an older brother who still wants to play

Innocent of hateful people and the things they say

He would want to be the last one there

About the cold he would say he doesn’t care

Cos when we’re gone he talks himself into another place

Everybody likes to know right to his face

Boy Wonder never wants to grow up

Cos with some competition he won’t look so great

But he’s the biggest in the street

He knows to use his weight

But when he comes to realise

It will be too late
