Lyrics:

[Intro]

Harry green was my old friend,
We met in spanish class,
Helped me out of a spot i was in,
He stopped a redneck from kickin’ my ass,
Stopped a redneck from kickin’ my ass.

Harry green was strong and tall,
Played on a football team,
Them good ol’ boys said “you better watch out,
He’s not what he would seem,
He’s not what he would seem'.

Harry green was allright by me,
Harry green was allright with me.

Well, them high school halls can sure get rough
When you ain’t like everyone else,
Harry green had to hold so much
Deep inside himself,
Deep inside himself.

Harry green was middle class,
Sixteen – he got a new car,
I remember him in the talent show,
Playin’ on his old guitar,
Playin’ on his old guitar.

Harry green was allright with me,
Harry green was allright by me.

It was second-hand news
In the middle of the day,
Sounded like rumour of lie,

A pontiac wrapped around an old oak tree,
Vehicular suicide,
Harry green had died.

Sometimes i wish i was still a boy
With life ahead of me,
One day i’ll go back and say a few words
Over harry green,
Over harry green.

Yeah, harry green was allright by me,
Harry green was allright by me.
