Antony:
Those, those beautiful boys
Those, those beautiful boys

Cocorosie:
Born illegitimately
To a whore, most likely
He became an orphan
Oh what a lovely orphan he was
Sent to the reformatory
Ten years old, was his first glory
Got caught stealing from a nun
Now his love story has begun

Thirty years he spent wandering
A devil's child with dove wings
Oh He went to prison and now the country he set foot in
Oh how he loved prison
He loved, ( He was )
Prison

Antony:
All those beautiful boys
Kings and Queens
And criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

Cocorosie:
His greatest love was executed
The pure romance was undisputed
Angelic, And Love Sent, Holy Ones

Antony:
All those beautiful boys
Kings and Queens
And criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

All those beautiful boys
Kings and Queens
And criminal queers
All those beautiful boys
Tattoos of ships and tattoos of tears

All those beautiful boys
Beautiful boys
All those beautiful boys
Beautiful boys
Those beautiful boys
