Oh, what a good boy!
His dad´s so proud: "he´s got his ma´s heart of gold..."
Manny was the chosen
the chosen number one
Even when he did the number two
the angels were singing his song
Oh, what a good boy!
His mama said: "you´ve got the eye-of-fortune, my son..."
Well, his first sentence for grose indecence
was wavered by the judge
´cos he couldn´t believe that Manny´s blue eyes
could ever do any wrong!
Manny was the sunshine
he was the sparkling ray-of-life
but the girl he raped was broken down with hate
they found her in a pool of blood
Oh, what a good boy!
What a difference a lie
could make between right or wrong...
Manny´s second sentence
it was a bad mistake all along
She had herself to blame
ostentatious and flirty
- never should have worn that thong!
Oh, what a good boy!
"...I let You off with a fine, ´cos you´re a fine, fine young boy..."
It was a clerical errance - a paper discrepance
sorry if we did you wrong!
We´re wishing you well - God´s speed my friend
You really have done no fault!
Manny is a Good Boy
he´s got the papers to prove it allright
those girls he soiled and threw away as toys
got it coming - strike us down if we lie!
Oh, what a Good Boy!
The jury´s out and dating their new boy-toy...
