Romeo Romeo Romeo here we go!

Kids from the corner
War was over
Made it home
And on their own
Always
Remember
Their neighborhood.
The place they were born and raised
Memories won't fade
Kept alive by
Those who survive

John Lefty Caulfield
Reserves himself a table
Upstairs at Charlie's kitchen
In Harvard square
Waits to place his order
For the boys of Kerry corner
The gang is back together
Monthly meeting can commence
Reminisce about the days
Before the war was won
The world was no bigger
Than 10 square blocks
Raised up in three deckers
Five kids to a floor
Organized outside for
Street politics and sports

No decorated hero's
But they were the bones and muscle
World war 2 was won
On their sacrifice
All but a handful made it back
Back to their corner
Which had begun to change
Like the world outside
Teachers priests and lawyers
And blue collar workers
Greater Boston grew
Along with their lives
Moved away to raise their families
But they won't forget their roots
One regret for their kids
They have no corner of their own.
