Lyrics

The youngest was the most loved
The youngest was the shielded
We kept him from the world's glare
And he turned into a killer

Retrousse nose
Turned up and mischievous
Forget-me-not eyes
That cried if we ever left his side

 "There is no such thing in life as normal
  There is no such thing in life as normal"

The youngest was the most loved
The youngest was the cherub
A small boy from a poor house
Who turned into a killer

A blush, it rose
If he had to say hello
A lop-sided grin
Strained to keep the shyness in

 "There is no such thing in life as normal
  There is no such thing in life as normal"

The youngest was the most loved
The youngest was the cherub
The luck was all before him
With a lovely wife beside him

The youngest was the most loved
The youngest was the cherub
We kept him from the world's glare
And he turned into a killer

 "There is no such thing in life as normal
  There is no such thing in life as normal"
