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!
