Wide Boy - Foghat

Baggy suit and flashy tie, blue of knuckle, red of eye

He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy

He’d sell his mother for a quid, rumour has it that he did

He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy

He used to be his father’s pride, 'til he spent a year inside

He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy

Six feet from shoulder to shoulder and five feet from the ground

Iron fists, a head like a boulder — a friend like that is good to have around!

At the club he’s set to pounce, girls to chat and boys to bounce

He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy

Oy!

Six feet from shoulder to shoulder and five feet from the ground

Iron fists, a head like a boulder — a friend like that is good to have around!

(Wide boy), wanna buy a stereo?

(Wide boy), heard you got a truckload!

(Wide boy), need a color TV too

(Wide boy), I’m in a spot of trouble

I need assistance at the double

(Wide boy), it’s good to have a friend like you

Never rich and never poor, (never poor)

Just a step outside the law, (outside the law)

He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy

He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy

He’s one of the boys, he’s a wide boy
