B.J. Thomas - Send My Picture To Scranton, PA Lyrics
Send my picture to Scranton, PA
Write them and say I'm the kid they used to laugh at
Send my picture along with the news
Of all the good things I've done
Since they said
Nothing good ever would become of me
They were so sure
Let them know just how wrong they all can be
Get someone to
Paste my picture all over the walls
In all the halls of the school I used to go to
I was mixed up and kind of confused
No one around to took the time to find out
They ignored me
Maybe now they'll give kids a helping hand
That's how it really ought to be
Not like the way it was with me
Well, no one there ever tried to understand
They ignored me
Maybe now they'll give kids a helping hand
I hope to God they cast aside
So I went out and really tried
Now they can point to me with pride.

Get someone to
Paste my picture all over the walls,
In all the halls of the school I used to go to
I was mixed up and kind of confused
No one around took the time to find out
What was wrong and to try to understand.
They ignored me
May be now they'll give kids a helping hand.
That’s how it really ought to be.
Not like the way it was with me.
Well, no one there ever tried to understand.
They ignored me.
Maybe now they'll give kids a helping hand.
I hope to God they cast aside
So I went out and really tried.
Now they can point to me with pride.

Man, this is a TOUGH find! Thanks so much for putting this up. I haven't heard this since I played this 45 years ago.

I own one. Lived there. *wiggles eyebrows.
One of the best B-side songs of all time. What a message! Glad you finally posted it, 45rpmMike.
