 And with a slap of a hand, he had landed as an only son
 
[Pre-Chorus 1]
    F#m                            E6
His mother and father said: what a lovely boy
       Dmaj7                          E6
We'll teach him what we learned, aww yes just what we learned
      F#m                            E6
We'll dress him up warmly, and we'll send him to school
      Dmaj7                        C#7sus4   C#7
It'll teach him how to fight to be nobody's fool

In the summer of fifty three his mother brought him a sister

 And she told him, we must attend to her needs, she's so much younger than you
 
[Pre-Chorus 2]
        F#m                        E6
Well he ran down the hall and he cried
     Dmaj7                       E6
Oh, how could his parents have lied?
          F#m                     E6
When they said he was their only son
     Dmaj7                    C#7sus4  C#7
He thought he was their only one...
