He was gone two years, two years That I thought it would never end Now P.F.C. Williams is just plain old Jimmy again ♪ But it doesn't make faces to cheer up the children The way that he used to before And it doesn't feed pigeons or sing in the shower And I don't hear his laugh anymore His face has grown old and his eyes have grown cold And they tell you of where he has been Congratulations, you sure made a man out of him ♪ And I know he won't finish that treehouse he's started A month before he went away And although he takes me to church every Sunday He sits there but he doesn't pray He keeps things in sight like there's something to hide I admit it, you did it, you win Congratulations, you sure made a man out of him
