Poor Paul Getty

Lyrics

Saint George was an English school
 But it was in Italy
 Oh, what a mischievous boy was he
 (Ahh)
 They kicked him out for breaking rules
 His father went overseas
 The summer of 1970
 (Ahh)
 He was only seventeen
 But everybody knew his name
 So they cut off his ear with a garden sheer
 And they waited for his folks to pay
 He was only seventeen
 His mother should have been dismayed
 When they cut off his ear with a garden sheer
 Paul Getty never was the same
 One night he was rather stoned
 His friends wouldn't drive him home
 He stood by a fountain all alone
 (Ahh)
 A rotten gang wrestled him down
 And threw him in the back of a van
 Covered his eyes and taped his hands
 (Ahh)
 He was only seventeen
 But everybody knew his name
 So they cut off his ear with a garden sheer
 And they waited for his folks to pay
 He was only seventeen
 His mother should have been dismayed
 When they cut off his ear with a garden sheer
 Paul Getty never was the same
 It could've been the opium
 But the old man couldn't be swayed
 He said, "Not a penny shall be paid."
 (Ahh)
 He was only seventeen
 But everybody knew his name
 So they cut off his ear with a garden sheer
 And they waited for his folks to pay
 He was only seventeen
 His mother should have been dismayed
 When they cut off his ear with a garden sheer
 Paul Getty never was the same
