1- Listen to the song and fill in the gaps with he right form of the verb:
�
As the snow�
�(fly)
On a cold and gray�Chicago mornin'
A poor little baby child��
(be) born
In the ghetto
and his mama
�(cry)�
'cause if there's one thing that she don't need
It'
�(be) another hungry mouth to feed
In the ghetto
People,�don't you
�(understand)
child
�(need) a helping hand
or he'll grow�
to be an angry young man some day
take a look at you and me,
�(be) we too blind to see?�
Do we simply
�(turn) our heads�
and�look the other way?
Well the world
�(turn)
and a hungry litle boy with a runny nose
�(play)�in the street as the cold wind
�(blow)�
In the ghetto
And his hunger
�(burn)�
so he
�(start)�to roam the streets at night
and he
�(learn) how to steal
an he
�(learn) how to fight
In the ghetto
Then one night in desperation
a young man
�(break) away
he
�(buy) a gun,
�(steal) a car,
�(try) to run, but he don't get far
And his mama
�(cry)�
As a crowd gathers 'round
and angry young man
face down on the street with a gun in his hand
In the ghetto�
And as her young man
�(die),
on a cold and gray Chicago mornin',
Another little baby child is born
In the ghetto
And his mama
�(cry)
