BOHEMIAN'S RHAPSODY

I realized just last weekend that there are two consecutive songs on Beggars Banquet that use the phrase "poor boy."

There's no thesis here beyond this simple one: I am a dumbass.

...and there is one consecutive CCR album with those same two words,albeit joined together...

OK, I'll accept the plural/contracted form, which means we've identified the following "poor boy" songs:

Street Fighting Man
Prodigal Son
Bohemian Rhapsody
Down on the Corner

And I'll add Poor Boy by Nick Drake.

There's got to be more, but this poor boy is drawing a blank. Help me, internets!
