Foghat - Wide Boy Lyrics

Baggy suit and flashy tie
Blue of knuckle, red of eye
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy

He'd sell his mother for a quid
Rumor has it that he did
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy

He used to be his father's pride
'Til he spent a year inside
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy

Six feet from shoulder to shoulder
And five feet from the ground
Iron fists, a head like a boulder
A friend like that is good to have around

At the club he's set to pounce
Girls to chat and boys to bounce
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy

Six feet from shoulder to shoulder
And five feet from the ground
Iron fists, a head like a boulder
A friend like that is good to have around

(Wide boy)
Wanna buy a stereo?
(Wide boy)
Heard you got a truckload
(Wide boy)
Need a color TV, too

(Wide boy)
I'm in a spot of trouble
I need assistance at the double
(Wide boy)
It's good to have a friend like you

Never rich and never poor
(Never poor)
Just a step outside the law
(Outside the law)
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy

He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy
He's one of the boys, he's a wide boy
