Wide Boy Lyrics - Foghat

Dave Peverett - Riff Bros. Music - ASCAP 

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! 

{Erik - Solo} 

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.
