Lyrics

He's just too good-natured, and

He's got too much money, and He's got too many girlfriends (I'm jealous, that's all)

Have you seen him go, though? Oh... Have you seen him go, though? Oh... Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing

He's got too many girlfriends He thinks he owns this city He over speeds and he never Gets pulled over

Have you seen him go, though? Oh... Have you seen him go, though? Oh... Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing

He thinks he's got the whole world in his hands Stood at the urinal He thinks he's got the whole world in his hands And I'm gonna kill him

Oh no, oh no Oh no, oh no Oh no, oh no Oh no, oh no oh no

Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing

He's just too good looking... He's just too good looking... He's just too good looking... And... And... And...

Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing Boy racer, boy racer, oh! We're gonna kill this pretty thing

"The Boy Racer" is a song by English singer-songwriter Morrissey, released as the second single from his fifth studio album, Southpaw Grammar (1995), in November 1995. It was Morrissey's second and final single released on RCA Records after leaving EMI Records. The single was released across two CDs, each with different covers but both featuring a young boy. Contrary to rumour, the child is not Morrissey's nephew. The song reached number 36 on the UK Singles Chart.
