Boys and Girls

Music & Lyrics by Garland Jeffreys and Peter Zizzo

From the album Wildlife Dictionary (1997)

Boys and girls

Welcome to your world

How you find your vision

Where you get your wisdom

Everything you’re feeling

All you are revealing

All your friends and lovers

Lead you to discover

They won’t turn their back on you

Boys and girls

We’ve got to find a future in this world

Boys and girls

We’ve got to find a future in this world

Ordinary people

Extraordinary people

Some will come between us

Some will be deceivers

But even as we speak of

There will be believers

They won’t turn their back on you

Hey, hey, well, well

I don’t know what the morrow brings

Hey, hey, well, well

You looked into the future

And you don’t know what it is

And you don’t know what it is

You looked into the future

And you don’t know what it is

And you don’t know what it is

Hey, hey, well, well

I don’t know what tomorrow brings

Hey, hey, well, well

You looked into the mirror

And you don’t know who it is

And you don’t know who it is

Boys and girls

Welcome to your world

How you find your vision

Where you get your wisdom

Everything you’re feeling

All you are concealing

May all your friends and lovers

Lead you to discover

They won’t turn their back on you

Boys and girls

We’ve got to find a future in this world

Boys and girls

We’ve got to find a future in this world

Boys and girls

We’ve got to find a future in this world

Boys and girls
