Little Eddie Mitty born in Jersey 
City
Em
Started singin' when he was five
C
Never knew his father mother didn't 
bother
   D
To catch his last name fast as he 
came

G
He was off and flying
Times were really trying
Em
Eddie and his mother alone
Continues after the ad
C
Soon another mister soon a baby 
sister
D
Mama kept swingin' and Eddie kept 
singin'

G           Em          C       
Ah ya ya ya ya Ya ya ya ya ya ya

And now the tragic story
Eddie's sister, Mary Louise, needed 
an operation
To get the money he would have to 
become an overnight sensation
Eddie believed the American people
Had wonderful, lovegiving hearts
His well publicized end he 
considered would send
His memorial album to the top of the
 charts...and it did

Ah ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya ya
Ya ya ya ya for love for love

When a young singer dies to our 
shock and surprise
In a plane crash or flashy sports 
car
He becomes quite well known
And the kindness he's shown has made
 more than one post mortem star
Well you did it Eddie and though 
it's hard to applaud suicide
You gave all you could give so your 
sister could live
All America's choked up inside

We'll remember you forever Eddie
Thru' the sacrifice you made we 
can't believe the price you paid
For love
