The Ghost Of A Saber Tooth Tiger - Poor Paul Getty lyrics

Saint George was an English school But it was in Italy Oh, what a mischievous boy was he (Ahh) They kicked him out for breaking rules His father went overseas The summer of 1970 (Ahh) He was only seventeen But everybody knew his name So they cut off his ear with a garden sheer And they waited for his folks to pay He was only seventeen His mother should have been dismayed When they cut off his ear with a garden sheer Paul Getty never was the same One night he was rather stoned His friends wouldn't drive him home He stood by a fountain all alone (Ahh) A rotten gang wrestled him down And threw him in the back of a van Covered his eyes and taped his hands (Ahh) He was only seventeen But everybody knew his name So they cut off his ear with a garden sheer And they waited for his folks to pay He was only seventeen His mother should have been dismayed When they cut off his ear with a garden sheer Paul Getty never was the same It could've been the opium But the old man couldn't be swayed He said, "Not a penny shall be paid." (Ahh) He was only seventeen But everybody knew his name So they cut off his ear with a garden sheer And they waited for his folks to pay He was only seventeen His mother should have been dismayed When they cut off his ear with a garden sheer Paul Getty never was the same
