Reserve Grader
In these days of changing ways
so called liberated days
a story comes to mind of a player of mine
Georgie boy was fat I guess
nothin' more or nothin' less
the chubiest guy I ever knew
His mother's tears fell in vain
the afternoon George tried to explain
that he needed food like all the rest
Pa said there must be a mistake
how can my son not be fed
after all I've said and done for him
Leavin' home on a Greyhound bus
cast out by the ones he loves
A victim of these fit days it seems
Georgie went to reserve grade town
where he quickly settled down
losing kilos living on toast all day
Accepted by Manly's elite
in all the places that were chic
No party was complete without George
Along the boulevards he'd cruise
and all the fans blew a fuse
Everybody loved Georgie boy
The last time I saw George play
was in a Manly jersey in 2018
he said he was in first grade I said I'm pleased
Georgie's career ended there
but I ask who really cares
George once said to me and I quote
He said "Never wait or hesitate
Get in kid, before it's too late
You may never get another chance
'Cos youth a mask but it don't last
live it long and live it fast"
Georgie was a favourite of mine
Oh Georgie play, don't go away
Georgie please play you take our breath away
Oh Georgie play, don't go away
Georgie please play you take our breath away
Oh Georgie play, don't go away
Georgie, Georgie please play you take our breath away
Oh Georgie play
