Bm                              B

Cm                 F
Says why should he stop

He makes more money in that gym

He seems to like the glamour

He likes the cash, he likes the flash
    F               B
And fuss around the fights
        B         B        F B
Will he know when it’s all over
        F                  Bm7
Will he still be sharp and bright
F        B       F
Still be working
      B       B  B
Still be on a payroll?

No more or less

He’s just The Boy
