lyrics

Heaven loves ya, the clouds part for ya
Nothing stands in your way
When you're a boy

Clothes always fit ya
Life is a pop of the cherry
When you're a boy

(When you're a boy)
You can wear a uniform
(When you're a boy)
Other boys check you out
(You get a girl)
These are your favorite things
(When you're a boy)

Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out

Uncage the colors, unfurl the flag
Luck just kissed you hello
When you're a boy

They'll never clone ya
You're always first on the line
When you're a boy

(When you're a boy)
You can buy a home of your own
(When you're a boy)
Learn to drive and everything
(You'll get your share)
You'll get your share
When you're a boy

Boys
Boys
Boys keep swinging
Boys always work it out

BOWIE, DAVID/ENO, BRIAN
