The Ghost of a Saber Tooth Tiger Poor Paul Getty Lyrics

Verse 1:
Saint George was an English school but it was in Italy oh what a mischievous boy was he
They kicked him out for breaking rules his father went overseas the summer of 1970
Chorus 1:
He was only seventeen but everybody knew his name
So they cut off his ear with a garden sheer and waited for his folks to pay-aay
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-aay
Verse 2:
One night he was rather stoned his friends wouldnt drive him home he stood by a fountain all alone
a rotten gang wrestled him down and threw him in the back of a van covered his eyes n taped his hands
Chorus 2:
He was only seventeen but everybody knew his name
So they cut off his ear with a garden sheer and waited for his folks to pay-aay
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-aay
(Interlude)
Verse 3:
It couldve been the opium but the old man couldn't be swayed he said not a penny shall be paid
Chorus 3:
He was only seventeen but everybody knew his name
So they cut off his ear with a garden sheer and waited for his folks to pay-aay
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-aay
(abrupt end)
