Lyrics for Fairweather Friend - Previously Unreleased Alternate Version
Boy-boy, boy-boy Rolling down the road Boy-boy, boy-boy What have you been told? Do you wear your jeans of blue on pathways paved with gold? Boy-boy, boy-boy What have you been sold? Yes, boy, and no, boy You don't have to use your head It's all right, boy You can use your feet instead You don't have to worry 'bout the French emissary You don't have to dread Boy-boy, boy-boy Please, listen to what I have said You can ask my forlorn fairweather friend If the hills are hard to find If the misty mountain tops are made They'll make us change their minds Boy-boy, boy-boy A-rolling down the road Boy-boy, boy-boy What have you been told? (Can) can you smell the means by which your secret sonnets do unfold? Boy-boy, boy-boy Rolling down the road
