Rock on Tommy - Song Lyrics

Together We'll Be O.K.

Laugh me a laugh, grin me a grin,
And then I know that we can win,
Dance me a dance, joke me a joke,
And blow the clouds away.

You gotta play me a tune, sing me a song,
And we can help push life along,
Just you and me, come on and see,
Together we'll be O.K.

Open the door, open your heart,
And then we got somewhere to start,
Just turn around, look what we've found,
Todays a brand new day.

You gotta run with me now, I'll show you how,
The world is waiting, take a bow,
Show them its you, what you can do,
Together we two can win.

'Rock on Tommy', dance to a tune that this guitar sings,
'Rock on Tommy', just get up and spread your wings (Spread your wings).

Follow me through, into the sun,
And we can smile at everyone,
You gotta join in with me, then we are free,
It isn't hard to do.

I said life is a song, so just sing along,
And then we know we can't go wrong,
Just you and me, come on and see,
Together we'll be O.K,
Together we'll be O.K,
Together we'll be O.K.

Rock on Tommy

Oh, rock on Tommy
I was out on my own
Living alone
When I needed someone to brighten my life

Somebody with style
To make me good for a while
And then you came along

Well you looked so good that I can't believe it's true
Now I'm feeling fine cause I'm so in love...
(Rock on Tommy)
...with you

(spoken)
Get down and get with it
How am I doing Tommy
Fine
Will I make a disco singer
You'll make one
That'll do for me

Don't ever go
I want you so
Your love is all that I need
Why don't you saty
Just one more day
I'll show you the way that I feel

Sighs in background

(spoken)
Rock on Tommy, who's the bird
Sigh...
They're doing it again tommy
Ignore it
I know but she's breathing on me
Just forget it
Sigh...
Oh stop it, Bobby, please
I like it
Sighs in background

I wait till the night
I turn on the light
But no-one was there to brighten my life
Living for one
Was never much fun
Until you came along

Well you looked so good that I can't believe it's true
Now I'm feeling fine cause I'm so in love...
(Rock on Tommy)
...with you

(spoken)
Do you think that bird fancies me, Tommy
Why not, you might have a chance
I'll go and ask her
How was that, Tommy
You were marvellous, marvellous

Me and My Shadow

Like the wallpaper sticks to the wall
Like the seashore clings to the sea
Like you'll never get rid of your shadow
Tommy, you'll never never get rid of me

Let all the others fight and fuss
Whatever happens, we've got us.

Me and my shadow
We're closer than pages that stick in a book
We're closer than ripples that play in a brook
Strolling down the avenue
Wherever you find him, you'll find me, just look
Closer than a miser or the bloodhounds to Liza

Me and my shadow
We're closer than fog when it clings to UK
We're closer than others, whatever they say
Not a soul can bust this team in two
We stick together like glue

And when it's sleeping time
That's when we rise
We start to swing
Swing to the skies
Our clocks don't chime
What a surprise
They ring-a-ding-ding!
Both Happy new year!

Me and my shadow
And now to repeat what I said at the start
They'll need a large crowbar to break us apart
We're alone but far from blue

Before we are finished, we'll make the place roar
We'll play all the late spots, and then a few more
We'll wind up togethrt right after the show
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!

(Spoken) That were great that, can we do it again

And while we are swinging, to mention a few
We'll call in the Angel, the little club too
We'll wind up laughing, whatever we do
Life is gonna be we-wow-whee!
For my shadow and me!
