WHAT WOULD THEY SAY (THE BOY IN THE PLASTIC BUBBLE, 1976)

In the t.v. movie The Boy In The Plastic Bubble, John Travolta plays the titular lead who due to a rare immune disease was subjected inside a plastic bubble. Renowned singer Paul Williams sung the theme. Travolta also has his own version of the song. A bittersweet ballad.


WHAT WOULD THEY SAY
sung by: Paul Williams

What would they say, If we up and run away
From the worried crowd, And the worn-out city faces
Would they carry on and on
When they found out we were gone
Or would they let us go
Would they tag along or would they just…

Leave us alone, We’d live in the country
Leave us alone, We’d make it just fine
Happy in a one-room shack
And we’d not look back
Now would we?

What would they do, If they found out we were through
With the little lies, And the downtown aggravations
That we trade them away, For a quiet country day
That we had hoped to share
Would they try to find out where we were?


Leave us alone, We’d live in the country
Leave us alone, We’d make it just fine
Happy in a one-room shack
And we’d not look back
Now would we?

Leave us alone, We’d live in the country
Leave us alone, We’d make it just fine
Happy in a one-room shack
And we’d not look back
Now would we?
What would they say, If we up and ran away?
