1
Outside the house Mr. Simpson announced
2
That Sally couldn't go to the meeting.
3
He went on cleaning his blue Rolls Royce
4
And she ran inside weeping.
5
She got to her room and tears splashed the picture
6
Of the new Messiah.
7
She picked up a book of her fathers life
8
And threw it on the fire!
9
She knew from the start
10
Deep down in her heart
11
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
12
But her Mother said never mind your part...
13
Is to be what you'll be.
14
The theme of the sermon was come onto me,
15
Love will find a way,
16
So Sally decided to ignore her dad,
17
And sneak out anyway!
18
She spent all afternoon getting ready,
19
And decided she'd try to touch him,
20
Maybe he'd see that she was free
21
And talk to her this Sunday.
22
She knew from the start
23
Deep down in her heart
24
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
25
But her Mother said never mind your part...
26
Is to be what you'll be.
27
She arrived at six and the place was swinging
28
To gospel music by nine.
29
Group after group appeared on the stage
30
And Sally just sat there crying.
31
She bit her nails looking pretty as a picture
32
Right in the very front row
33
And then a DJ wearing a blazer with a badge
34
Ran on and said 'here we go!'
35
The crowd went crazy
36
As Tommy hit the stage!
37
Little Sally got lost as the police bossed
38
The crowd back in a rage!
39
But soon the atmosphere was cooler
40
As Tommy gave a lesson.
41
Sally just had to let him know she loved him
42
And leapt up on the rostrum!
43
She ran cross stage to the spotlit figure
44
And brushed him on the face
45
Tommy whirled around as a uniformed man,
46
Threw her off the stage.
47
She knew from the start
48
Deep down in her heart
49
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
50
But her Mother said never mind your part...
51
Is to be what you'll be.
52
Her cheek hit a chair and blood trickled down,
53
Mingling with her tears,
54
Tommy carried on preaching
55
And his voice filled Sally's ear
56
She caught his eye she had to try
57
But couldn't see through the lights
58
Her face was gashed and the ambulance men
59
Had to carry her out that night.
60
The crowd went crazy
61
As Tommy left the stage!
62
Little Sally was lost for the price of a touch
63
And a gash across her face! OOoooh.
64
Sixteen stitches put her right and her Dad said
65
'don't say I didn't warn yer'.
66
Sally got married to a rock musician
67
She met in California
68
Tommy always talks about the day
69
The disciples all went wild!
70
Sally still carries a scar on her cheek
71
To remind her of his smile.
72
She knew from the start
73
Deep down in her heart
74
That she and Tommy were worlds apart,
75
But her Mother said never mind your part...
76
Is to be what you'll be.
