Happy New Year!!! Just for a laugh!

"In the Ghetto" (originally titled "The Vicious Circle") is a 1969 song written by Mac Davis and recorded by Elvis Presley. It was a major hit released in 1969 as a part of Presley's comeback album.


As the snow fliesOn a cold and gray Chicago mornin'A poor little baby child ...   ......In the ghetto(In the ghetto)
And his mama cries'Cause if there's one thing that she ....... .......It is another hungry mouth .... ............In the ghetto(In the ghetto)
People, don't you understandThe child needs a helping handOr he'll grow to be an angry young man some dayTake a look at you and meAre we ..... ....... to see?
Do we simply turn our headsAnd look the other way
Well, the world turnsAnd a hungry little boy with a runny nosePlays in the street as the cold wind .........In the ghetto(In the ghetto)
And his hunger burnsSo he starts to roam the streets at nightAnd he learns how  ...  ........And he learns how   ...  ........In the ghetto(In the ghetto)
Then one night in desperationThe young man breaks awayHe buys a  ...., steals a  .....
Tries to run, but he don't get farAnd his mama cries
As a crowd "........... 'round an angry young manFace down on the street with a gun in his handIn the ghetto(In the ghetto)
And as her young man dies(In the ghetto)On a cold and gray Chicago mornin'Another little baby child is bornIn the ghetto(In the ghetto)
And his mama cries.
....
