Get away from Tommy
Won't stay away from me
I can hear the shame bells ringing

Won't stay away from me

Get away from me, Tommy
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Their father's a professional fighter
But Tommy won't get away
The song that he sings is his own
Get away from me, Tommy

One time and he won't get away
Get away from Tommy
The very one from where I was born

Get away from me, Tommy
And I think so is their mom
But Tommy won't get away
Gotta get away, gotta get away
I don't wanna die alone
Won't stay away from me
Won't stay away from me
Transcends limits of his culture
Get away from Tommy
Tommy don't follow no tradition

Tommy gets his wisdom through excess
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Get away from Tommy
But Tommy won't get away

Tommy don't hold no scorn
