Tommy's got a brother named Thomas
And another brother named Tom.
Their father's a professional fighter
And I think so is their mom.
Gotta get away, Gotta get away
Get away from Tommy
But Tommy won't get away
Won't stay away from me
Get away from me, Tommy
Tommy gets his wisdom through excess
Tommy don't hold no scorn
Transcends limits of his culture
The very one from where I was born
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Get away from Tommy
But Tommy won't get away
Won't stay away from me
Get away from me, Tommy!
Tommy don't follow no tradition
The song that he sings is his own
I can hear the shame bells ringing
I don't wanna die alone.
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Get away from Tommy
One time and won't get away
Won't stay away from me
Gotta get away, gotta get away
Get away from Tommy
But Tommy won't get away
Won't stay away from me
Get away from me, Tommy!
