Pete Townshend
I’m A Boy
[Verse 1]
One little girl was called Jean-Marie
Another little girl was called Felicity
Another little girl was Sally-Joy
The other was me and I'm a boy

[Verse 2]
My name is Bill and I'm a head case
They practice making-up on my face
I feel lucky if I get trousers to wear
Spend days taking hairpins from my hair

[Chorus]
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it

[Verse 3]
Put your frock on, Jean-Marie
Plait your hair, Felicity
Paint your nails, little Sally-Joy
Put this wig on, I’m a boy

[Chorus]
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it
[Verse 4]
Wanna play cricket on the green
Ride my bike across the street
Cut myself and see my blood
Wanna come home all covered in mud

[Chorus]
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won't admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
I'm a boy
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But my ma won’t admit it
I'm a boy, I'm a boy
But if I say I am, I get it
