| And the snow flies | |
| On a cold and grey | |
| Chicago morn | |
| A poor little baby child is born | |
| In the ghetto (in the ghetto) | |
| And his mama cries ' | |
| Cause if there's one thing that she don't need | |
| It's another hungry mouth to feed | |
| In the ghetto (in the ghetto) | |
| People, don't you understand? | |
| The child needs a helping hand | |
| Or he'll grow to be an angry young man some day | |
| Take a look at you and me | |
| Are we too blind to see | |
| Or will we simply turn our heads | |
| And look the other way? | |
| And the world turns | |
| And the hungry little boy with the runny nose | |
| Plays in the street as the cold wind blows | |
| In the ghetto (in the ghetto) | |
| And his hunger burns | |
| So he starts to roam the streets at night | |
| He learns how to steal | |
| And he learns how to fight | |
| In the ghetto (in the ghetto) | |
| Then one night in desperation | |
| The young man breaks away | |
| He buys a gun, he steals a car | |
| He tries to run, but he don't get far | |
| And his mama cries | |
| As a crowd gathers 'round an angry young man | |
| Face down in the street with a gun in his hand | |
| In the ghetto (in the ghetto) | |
| And as her young man dies (in the ghetto) | |
| On a cold and grey | |
| Chicago morn' | |
| Another little baby child is born | |
| In the ghetto (in the ghetto) | |
| And his mama cries… (In the ghetto, in the ghetto, in the ghetto…) |
| And the snow flies | |
| On a cold and grey | |
| Chicago morn | |
| A poor little baby child is born | |
| In the ghetto in the ghetto | |
| And his mama cries ' | |
| Cause if there' s one thing that she don' t need | |
| It' s another hungry mouth to feed | |
| In the ghetto in the ghetto | |
| People, don' t you understand? | |
| The child needs a helping hand | |
| Or he' ll grow to be an angry young man some day | |
| Take a look at you and me | |
| Are we too blind to see | |
| Or will we simply turn our heads | |
| And look the other way? | |
| And the world turns | |
| And the hungry little boy with the runny nose | |
