Angels With Dirty Faces

Tommy Dorsey

(Verse 1)
They call them angels
With dirty faces
But they're just kids
From the wrong side of the tracks.
They're the ones who get picked on
By the bullies and the tough guys.
They're the ones who never get a break.

(Chorus)
But they're angels
With dirty faces
And they're just trying to survive.
They're not bad kids
They're just lost and confused.
They need someone to believe in them
And give them a chance.

(Verse 2)
They see the world as a cruel place
Where the good guys always get hurt.
So they turn to crime
As a way to get what they want.
They think it's the only way to survive.

(Chorus)
But they're angels
With dirty faces
And they're just trying to survive.
They're not bad kids
They're just lost and confused.
They need someone to believe in them
And give them a chance.

(Bridge)
One day, one of them will make a mistake
And end up in jail.
But even then, they're still an angel
With a dirty face.
They're still someone's child
Who deserves a second chance.

(Chorus)
They're angels
With dirty faces
And they're just trying to survive.
They're not bad kids
They're just lost and confused.
They need someone to believe in them
And give them a chance.

(Outro)
So let's give them a chance
To show us what they can do.
Let's believe in them
And help them turn their lives around.
They're angels
With dirty faces
And they deserve a chance to fly.
